Himachal Pradesh inclined to

tremors

Himachal is situated in the northern

Himalayas is facing massive construction
from the past two or three years on the
steep slopes. Himachal falls under the
seismic zone IV or V and have been
witnessing massive earthquakes from time
to time. The biggest earthquake that was
witnesses was in 1905 in which thousands of
people were killed and over one lakh houses
not stopped the people from turning into
concrete jungles.

According to the census 2011, the urban

population has increased by 10.03 percent. In
Himachal Pradesh, Town and country planning
act is applicable to 34 planning areas while in
the rest of the place, people are free to make
construction according to their own plans.
Minor Earthquakes have been experience
amid this duration.
Keeping in view this situation Town and
country planning have issued some rules and
regulations to build earthquake proof
buildings:

The building should be constructed or designed by

an expert engineer/architect/planner. The
construction should be undertaken strictly in
accordance with the architectural designs.
Otherwise, there is no use of constructing such
buildings.
While buildings earthquake proof structures keep
in view that the structures should be simple as
possible. By simplicity it meant Symmetery of plan,
mass and rigidity. Though it is difficult, but maximum
efforts should be made to do so.
When buildings are comparatively taller, siffer and
heavier then the chance of earthquake forces of are
enhanced more.

Soils conditions should be given due attention and

the construction of heavy structures on loose soils
should be avoided.
Buildings should include features such as like plith
beams, lintel band, monolithic constructions etc.
Doors and windows at the corners of the walls should
be avoided.
Building should be as light as possible because the
earthquake forces is all function of weight. The floors
are heavy at the bottom while the roof and the upper
storeys should be kept light.

Length of the buildings may not exceed 3 times

its width. Buildings should have planned
structures such as L.T.Y.E etc.
The above rules should be kept in mind while
building earthquake resistant structures, so as to
make Himachal a safe place to live.
