Disaster Resistant Architecture: Site Selection, Site Planing & Site Development For Earthquake Resistant Design
on pile foundations
have to be provided as
shown in figure.
Forest and trees
The forests are really useful to stop landslides but buildings
should not be constructed close to any big tree, as there
might be a possibility of falling of the trees during
earthquake.
The distance between tree and house should preferably be
at least equal to the height of tree or house, whichever is
greater.
Too Close building
Building should not be constructed close to another
building: there might be a possibility of falling of
building during earthquake.
The distance between two houses should be at least
equal to the height of house.
CONCLUSITION
Finally it must be recognized that the
architectural requirements will often make
asymmetrical design difficult or sometimes
impossible.
In these circumstances it is necessary, depending
upon the size of the building and the type of
asymmetry, to subdivide the major masses of the
building to improve the seismic performance.
