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
4

• 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.

5

• 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.

6

• 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.
