Improving Earthquake and Cyclone Resistance of Structures: guidelines for the Indian subcontinent is an attempt to introduce guidelines for the types of building structures frequently observed and built in the Indian subcontinent as well as in other developing countries. The guidelines are meant for both architectural and structural features, and include constructional aspects as well. The book introduces these guidelines in such a manner that all aspects can be properly understood, related, and implemented by practising engineers and architects. This book will help develop awareness and sensitize technical manpower for combating the threats posed by natural disasters like earthquakes and cyclones. Contents: Introduction Occurrence of earthquake: a geological perspective Performance of a building during earthquake: the philosophy and general guidelines Lessons learnt from case studies of typical moderate earthquakes in Indian subcontinent Guidelines for brick masonry buildings Guidelines for ductile detailing of reinforced concrete buildings subjected to seismic forces Guidelines for elevated tanks and dams: two lifeline structures Quantification of seismic design forces Occurrence of tropical cyclones: the North Indian Ocean Performance of buildings during cyclones: the philosophy Lessons learnt from performance of Sidr-affected non-engineered buildings at the Ganga delta Cyclone-resistant buildings: general guidelines Rapid visual screening: a vulnerability assessment methodology Retrofitting buildings: a damage control measure
