Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 The stock of housing in India alone is over 32 crores, and the stock of the other structures is of a comparable number. A significant share of this stock is in landmass that is likely to sustain moderate to severe earthquake ground shaking. Much of this existing stock of structures in India is unregulated construction, owing to absence of necessary techno-legal process to examine the structural safety of the built environment at the municipal offices across the country. Past earthquakes in India show that large losses of life is attributed primarily due to the collapse of structures. To prevent this, it is essential to assess and retrofit structures before the impending earthquakes. When doing so, efforts should be made to reduce the carbon footprint (say by 70 percent) as a step towards sustainable development.
2 The provisions of this standard are applicable for: a) Assessing the earthquake behaviour of existing structures that are not damaged during earthquake and new structures that are being designed as per the relevant national standards. b) Retrofitting of structures that are found to be deficient against design earthquake effects.
