Earthquake and Its Cause

When rocks of the earth crust are suddenly disturbed , vibration are caused which spread in all direction from the place of disturbance. The passage of vibration through the rocks may induce a local and regional shaking in them and the shaking movement may last for various fraction of time.  is an earthquake.

Cause of Earthquake:-

  1. Tectonic earthquake:- It is broadly agreed that these are caused displacement of blocks of the rocks and according to H.F Reid theory any block on the earth that is under the influence of unequal forces withstand these force in initial stage by undergoes elastic deformation and the force get stored in the rocks as elastic strain till a limit but when the limit is exceed by operating forces. A fractures is caused at that stage in the block is a type of tectonic earthquake

  1. Non Tectonic Earthquake:- Due to volcanic eruption or collapse of ground
Focus & Epicenter detail:- The origin of a particular earthquake is termed as Focus and the point or place on the surface vertically above the focus of an earthquake is termed as Epicenter


EARTHQUAKE WAVES:-
  1. P waves:- Primary waves ( Push and pull)
  2. S waves ;- Secondary waves
  3. L waves (Surface waves) 


Intensity of Earthquake
  • People do not feel any earth movement if the value = <3.4 (Richter Scale Equivalent) 
  • Most Building collapse if Value is =  6.2 -7.9
  • Almost every thing is destroyed = >8.0 

INDIAN SEISMIC CODES
  1. IS ; 1893 ( Part-1), 2002 : Criteria for Earthquake Resistant Design of structure ( V th Revision)
  2. IS: 13920, 1993 : Ductile Detailing of Reinforced Concrete Structures subjected to seismic forces
  3. IS : 13827, 1993 : Guidelines for Improving Earthquake Resistant of earthen Building.
  4. IS 13828, 1993 : Indian standard for Repair and seismic strengthening of Building.
  5. SP : 22 ( S&T), 1982: Explanatory handbook on codes for earthquake Engineering. 



PRECAUTION WHILE DESIGNING THE EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT BUILDING
  • Roofs of the building should be light weight type because earthquake is a function of mass so the building shall be light as possible
  • Height of building in seismic zones IV and V only one storey
  • Shape of building -  For better earthquake resistant , the building should have a simple rectangular plan and be symmetrical as far as possible about both the areas.
  • Walls :- when a longer wall is required , the wall should be strengthed by intermedite vertical buttresses.
  • The width of the opening sholud not more than 1.20 m. and the sum of the width of opening in a wall should not exceed 33 % of total wall length 
  • Foundation;-The depth of foundation below existing ground level at least lie 400 mm.                           2. The footing should be built by using stone, fired brick using cement or lime mortar.       3. the wall above foundation should be constructed using stone or burnt brick laid in cement

Anti Termite Treatment, Pre & Post Construction Termite

A.T.T  is the treatment given to the structure to protect it against Attack by subterranean termites, using a suitable chemical. The   chemical barrier   is a layer of soil in contact with the structure that has been suitably treated with approve chemical, so as to form an impervious barrier to kill that termites The following procedure of anti termite treatment to be done at the project site are based on IS 6313: 2001 The surface of the ground should be clean, compacted and firm. it should be free from any organic impurities. Safety goggles,  gloves  and face mask should be readily available at the site. The person conducting the anti termite treatment should be trained and should be wearing all the above safety gear during the operation. preliminary moisturing should be done when the soil is Sandy, loose and porous because the chemical solution may be lost due to percolation. The chemical treatment of the soil should start only after the fo...

Reinforcement

RCC slab Plane structural members which are used as floor and roof covering in a building. The thickness of the slabs looking is quite small as compared to other dimensions. Classification of the slab:-  On the basis of the ratio of longer span to shorter span. RCC slab classified into the following two types  One- way slab  Two-way slab One way slab:-  The slab in which the ratio of   (Ly/Lx) longer span to short span   is greater than or equal to 2 are called one-way slabs. These slabs are also called edge supported slabs Slab supported on four edges also behaves as one-way slab if the ratio of longer span to shorter span is greater than or equal to 2. In these slabs bending take place only along the shortest span. Therefore, the main reinforcement is provided along the shorter span and distribution Steel is provided along with the largest span. Reinforcement in one way slab:-  Main reinforcement:- Reinforcement i...
