4 Things Architectural Services India Must Consider While Designing Earthquake Resistant Buildings (Continued)

Apr 23, 2020 | Posted by The AEC Associates | Architectural Services India |

Top providers of Architectural services India like The AEC Associates always want to ensure that their buildings are earthquake resistant, this is especially very important in the high-seismic areas. Earthquakes are known to have caused massive devastation in terms of loss of human life and money in the past; Architectural services India providers must make sure that this loss is minimized by meticulously planning earthquake resistant buildings.

In our previous post, we discussed the significance of the height to base size ratio of a building and how it influences its behavior. The discussion is continued here.

  • Unequal distribution of load bearing members

Even a simple plan won’t be of much help if the load bearing members (columns or walls) are not distributed equally; a strong earthquake will cause great turbulence. A grid pattern plan is considered the best option for buildings in strong earthquake zones.

  • A perfect vertical layout

The earthquake forces developed at different floor levels must be brought down along the height to the ground through the shortest path possible in order to keep the structure safe. It will perform poorly in case there is any deviation or discontinuity in this path. As a result, buildings with upper floors wider than the lower ones will experience greater forces.

  • Proximity of buildings

Two buildings placed too close to each other are likely to bump into each other during a strong tremor; the taller the buildings, the graver the problem. In case buildings are of unequal height, the shorter one is likely to strike the taller one at the mid-height, making the situation even worse.

Reputed providers of Architectural services India strive to create buildings that are absolutely safe for the users besides being functionally efficient and aesthetically breathtaking. The structures must fare well even under extreme conditions like earthquakes, understanding the factors that influence the performance of a building under such conditions is paramount to produce safe and sound structures.
