Experts found that the earthquake caused no structural damage to the surveyed buildings in Assam

Experts who surveyed buildings in the state after Wednesday’s earthquake measuring 6.4 on the Richter scale found non-structural damage to the buildings surveyed, according to the Assam Real Estate and Infrastructure Developers Association (AREA).

AREIDA President PK Sharma said Thursday that the impact of the earthquake was in the heavy and destructive category with a combination of shallow depth and a short distance from the epicenter and high strength, generating extremely destructive seismic forces on buildings.

He said experts who conducted an extensive survey of earthquake damage found that such damage was primarily non-structural such as cracks in walls and a reinforced weight-bearing concrete frame (RCC) withstood the earthquake in all of the buildings inspected.

“The wall cracks and other non-structural damages prove that the RCC frame has led to the expected lines,” he said.

He urged everyone to act responsibly in dealing with this natural disaster, and highly commended the panic spread, which had already been reported as a criminal offense under Article 54 of the National Disaster Management Act of 2005.

The entire northeast falls under the fifth (fifth) zone of the seismic zone, which has the characteristic of being an “extremely intense zone”.

He said, “ Those who live in Zone 5 should be aware of the expected behavior of buildings, during earthquakes because mandatory rules as stipulated in the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) codes are a balance between safety and affordability. ”

The rules state that structures should be planned to ensure that no damage occurs in small earthquakes, and in moderate earthquakes, there should be no structural damage, other than cracking and damage to non-structural components.

During severe and devastating earthquakes, damage is permitted even to members of the structure, but buildings must remain standing without loss of human life.

One of the mandatory goals of earthquake resistant constructions in buildings is to achieve the required flexibility or flexibility of an RCC structure of beams, columns, slabs and foundations giving the building the ability to vibrate and swing without deformation when exposed to seismic forces, Sharma Point.

This enables structures to absorb energy and save buildings from collapsing during earthquakes, he added.
