What is the News?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Researchers have found a solution for retrofitting old non-earthquake-resistant buildings with a technology that can prevent major damage to such buildings from earthquakes without compromising their strength.<\/span><\/p>\n

Background<\/b><\/h5>\n

Historically, most buildings technically called unreinforced masonry(URM) were not built using modern building codes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

URM buildings have traditionally been widely adopted worldwide due to inexpensive and locally available construction materials.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just like in most developing countries located in earthquake-prone regions, unreinforced brick masonry(URBM) has been a common practice in urban, semi-urban and rural areas of India.<\/span><\/p>\n

These buildings are much more likely to experience damage or collapse during an earthquake.<\/span><\/p>\n

What has been developed by the researchers now?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur have developed a technology called semi-confined unreinforced brick masonry(SC-URBM).<\/span><\/p>\n

The technology can resolve the problem of the spread of settlements in earthquake-prone areas with constructions that have been built without following earthquake-preventive building codes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Researchers found that SC-URBM can significantly enhance the energy dissipation capacity and ductility of the retrofitted building without compromising its strength.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hence, such buildings would have superior performance in comparison to URBM buildings during earthquakes.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
