To stay safe in the building without the fear of fatal injury and guarantee that the repairing cost is less than 30% of the building cost after 7.0 MW major earthquakes epicenter at 10 Km away from the site.
To secure a building from collapse where the retrofitting cost is more than 30% of the building cost after 7.5 MW major earthquakes epicenter at 10 Km away from the site.
Justification
Based on the advanced technology adopted in Indian (IS), United States (ASCE/SEI 7/16, ASCE/SEI 41/17, ACI-318/19), European (EC2, EC8), New Zealand (3101) standards, and NIST, PEER-TBI/2017, FEMA P58, FEMA P440 recommendations for code exceeding buildings.
Analysis, Design, and Detailing of the structure are done manually and compared with outputs of 3-D models run with functions of loads in the software SAP2000.
Potential Magnitude
As per the technical report of the working committee of experts (WCE-2010) constituted by national disaster management authority (NDMA) Govt. of India recommends, In Central and Peninsular India, Maximum Potential Magnitude (MMAX) is less than 7.0.

Building Cost
The construction cost of building with earthquake resistant systems increases from 10% to 15% more than a RCC ordinary building total construction cost. The variation is nearly 2% to 5% of the total project cost depending upon the selection of collapse prevention earthquake magnitude and epi-center distance.
Height
According to International building code (IBC-2018) the allowable building height above grade plane for (NS) not equipped throughout without automatic sprinkler system standards are considered.
As per the National Building Code of India 2016 and the Model Building Bye-Laws 2016 of Town and Country Planning Organization, Ministry of Urban Development the open spaces around the building are related to height of buildings.
In the design of sub structures the crack width is limited to 0.3 mm and the extreme concrete fiber strain is limited to 0.003. No eccentric footing is permitted in earthquake resistant structures so the minimum setback proposed by the above is required.
Recommended for RCC Buildings from 3 stories to 16 stories.

Analysis, Design, and Detailing of the structure are done manually and compared with outputs of 3-D models run with functions of loads in the software SAP2000.
Planning and Modelling
The building model shall be finalized during the conceptual design. A detailed discussion is required with the Owner or Person having knowledge about the Aesthetic aspects and Functional requirements of the building; Fire and Life Safety in active firefighting systems; Water supply, Plumbing and drainage systems; Electrical, Electronics and Communication systems; Lift; Air-conditioning system; Landscaping and other specialized systems. Details regarding lateral load resisting system and foundation system will be the main concept in discussion. More detailed information’s will be shared during the consultation.
Analysis, Design and Detailing
After accepting the lateral load resisting system compatible with the other building systems. The details of highest engineering standards adopted in design based on acceleration spectrum, displacement spectrum, capacity design, static nonlinear (model pushover), dynamic nonlinear (FNA) based analysis and plastic design suitable for the lateral load resisting system and foundation system. Structural design for fire safety. All the details considered in the design and detailing will be informed during direct discussion.
Supervision and Direction including Test Check
Implementing the design and detailing of reinforcements in joints and lap joints in the field requires additional scaffoldings and labor, the additional cost must be paid to the contractor. Minimum grade of concrete M30 and rebar Fe500. Quality of materials, concrete and rebar placements shall be verified frequently. Proper directions can be given at site more details will be shared during direct discussion.

Planning, Designing And Constructing Philosophy
- Planning for Earthquake Resistant System.
- Analysis of Earthquake Resistant Superstructure System.
- Design and detailing of Earthquake Resistant Shear walls, Columns, Beams and column and beam joints.
- Analysis design and detailing of Foundation supporting Earthquake Resistant System.
- Structural Design for Fire Safety.
- Design Working Life for 100 Years.
- Supervision and Direction Including Test Check at Every Stage of Work, Testing of Construction Materials, concrete together with test checking of Placement of Rebar and Cover as Designed for Members.
Advantages & Disadvantages
Disadvantages
➔ While implementing the global highest engineering standards, the involvement of Engineer-in-charge in preparation of model plan and direction during construction stage shall consume more time.
➔ In the rebar placement and detailing in beam-column joints will require additional centering and labor cost.
Advanatges
➔ Intellectuals expected level of life safety can be achieved in their building against the natural disasters such as fire and earthquake effects.
➔ Quality of construction is improved by periodically monitoring of reinforcement detailing in lateral load resisting systems, quality of concrete with proper cover at various stages to achieve the design working life of 100 years.
➔ As per The King Hammurabi’s code 1772 BC clause 229 “If a builder builds a house for someone, and does not construct it properly, and the house which he built falls in and kills its owner, then the builder shall be put to death”. These type of law and sentencing are not possible in our “Democracy is a rule of the people, for the people and by the people”, whereas we have the freedom to construct any standard of building as our own wish.
➔Recent earthquakes caused thousands of death, millions to homeless and a loss of more than 100 billion dollars (1650 Km length pack of 500 rupee note). This loss was occurred due to the negligence of planning, designing and construction of buildings.
➔By implementing the analysis, design and detailing as per the concept of the internationally available highest engineering standards, you can reduce fatality in your selected earthquake magnitude and epi-central distance.
➔ You are also being a satisfied owner having an assured earth quake magnitude collapse prevention foundation, superstructure and passive fire resistance building. For these assurance you are spending an addition of 10% to 15% more than gravity load resisting building. This is like your life safety in travelling a four engines fitted aircraft.
