Vulnerability Profile

Of the 7,516 km long
coastline, close to 5,700
km (@76%) is prone to
cyclones and tsunamis.

58.6 per cent of the
landmass is prone to
earthquakes of moderate
to very high intensity.

Over 40 million hectares
(12 % of land) is prone to
floods and river erosion.

Disaster Management Act
On 23 December 2005, the Government of
India enacted the Disaster Management Act,
which envisaged the creation of National
Disaster Management Authority (NDMA),
headed by the Prime Minister, and State
Disaster Management Authorities (SDMAs)
headed by respective Chief Ministers, to
spearhead and implement a holistic and
integrated approach to Disaster Management
in India.

Functions & Responsibilities
• Lay down policies on disaster management ;
• Approve the National Plan;
• Approve plans prepared by the Ministries or Departments of the Government of
India in accordance with the National Plan;
• Lay down guidelines to be followed by the State Authorities in drawing up the
State Plan;
• Lay down guidelines to be followed by the different Ministries or Departments of
the Government of India for the Purpose of integrating the measures for
prevention of disaster or the mitigation of its effects in their development plans
and projects;
• Coordinate the enforcement and implementation of the policy and plans for
disaster management;
• Recommend provision of funds for the purpose of mitigation;
• Provide such support to other countries affected by major disasters as may be
determined by the Central Government;
• Take such other measures for the prevention of disaster, or the mitigation, or
preparedness and capacity building for dealing with threatening disaster
situations or disasters as it may consider necessary;
• Lay down broad policies and guidelines for the functioning of the National
Institute of Disaster Management.

Themes of the policy
• Community-based disaster management,
including last mile integration of the policy,
plans and execution.
• Capacity development in all related areas.
• Consolidation of past initiatives and best
practices.
• Cooperation with agencies at the national,
regional and international levels.
• Compliance and coordination to generate a
multi-sectoral synergy.

Disaster Management Cycle

Prevention and Mitigation
&
Capacity Building

Disaster Management

Prepare

Capacity Building
to deal with new works to deal with
disasters, retrofitting and
repair/rehabilitation

Damage/poor maintenance enhances
risk of damage/collapse of structures
during disasters

Types of Damages
• Damages could include both Structural and Non-Structural
• Non structural damage could include:
• Plaster,
• Panel/filler walls, parapets
• Doors, windows, window glass panes etc
• Dislocation of civil services like water supply, gas, drainage pipes and
electrical conduits/wiring
• Disturbed Roofing Tiles
• Flooring at ground level, etc
• Structural damage could cover
• Foundation system
• Load bearing walls
• RCC beams/columns
• Roofing
• Lintels over door/windows, etc

Sequence of Operation
• Removal of Hazardous Components
• Propping & Supporting, wherever required
• Condition Survey to Determine Rehabilitation
• Evaluate Damage to each Structural
Component
• Restoration and strengthening
– Appropriate Structural Repair Method
– Non structural repairs covering civil &
electrical items
• Finish the Repaired Structure

Structural Damage Assessment
• Important to conduct ‘Condition Survey’
– Determining rehabilitability i/c part demolition
– Whether building to be got vacated for repairs?
– Detailed damage assessment and determining residual
strength.
– Details of temporary support arrangement to avoid further
distress under normal loads

Repairs, Rehabilitation and Retrofitting
• In New Building, the extra Cost of Seismic
Resistant features is nominal (i.e. 2% to 5% of
structure’s cost)
• In Existing Building, the seismic retrofitting is
costlier (i.e. 5 to 15% of structure’s cost)
• Structural Repairs of Corrosion distressed
structures are also costlier
• Replacement of structure is still more costly
• A Balanced View is required to be taken before
deciding upon the various options

Repair & retrofitting Vs
Reconstruction
• As a thumb rule, repair/ strengthening is
resorted, if its overall cost is less than 30%
of the cost of reconstruction
• Replacement/reconstruction is, generally
avoided due to
– Preservation of Historical Architecture
– Maintaining functional social and cultural
environment

Classification of Repair Materials
• Based on its Application
– Surface Preparation
– Rust Removers / Converters
– Passivators for Reinforcement Protection
– Bonding Agents
– Structural Repair Materials
– Injection Grouts
– Joint Sealants
– Protective Surface Coatings

Cement Concrete/Mortar as
Repair Material
• Cement Concretes/Mortars are the natural
Repair Materials for RCC structures but not
favoured due to inherent undesirable
properties like:
– Drying shrinkage
– Slow Setting
– Low Workability
– Prolonged Curing requirements
– Permeability

Repair Sequence for Corrosion Damaged &
Spalled cover Concrete
1. Surface Preparation
• Loose and carbonated concrete removal all-
around reinforcement
2. Fix Shear Connectors, if required
3. Apply bonding layer over Substrate concrete
4. Apply Passivating Coat over Steel
Reinforcement
5. Apply repair – Cement based repairs or
– Resin based repairs, or
– Sprayed concrete (shotcrete)

EARTHQUAKES
• EARTHQUAKES DO NOT KILL BUT IT IS THE BUILDINGS
WHICH KILL
• NEARLY 5,00,000 EARTHQUAKES OCCUR EVERY YEAR
• ABOUT 1,00,000 ARE FELT
• Minor earthquakes occur nearly constantly around
the world in places like California and Alaska in the
U.S., as well as in Mexico, Guatemala, Chile, Peru,
Indonesia, Iran, China, Pakistan, Portugal, Turkey,
New Zealand, Greece, Italy, India and Japan, but
earthquakes can occur almost anywhere.

CASUALTIES
• LARGE NUMBER OF CASUALTIES OCCUR IN
DEVEOPING COUNTRIES. REASONS MAY BE;
– INADEQUATE DESIGN
– POOR CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE
– LACK OF RESOURCES
– INADEQUATE KNOWLEDGE
– INADEQUATE AWARENESS
– INADEQUATE TRAINING
– INADEQUATE SAFETY IMPLEMENTATION

MASONRY STRUCTURES

VULNERABILITY
• BRICK/STONE MASONRY STRUCTURES ARE
MORE VULNERABLE AND THEN POORLY
CONSTRUCTED/REPAIRED?
• DISASTER= VULNERABILITY X HAZARD
• BRICK STRUCTURES ARE MORE IN THE COUNTRY
• SO WE NEED SAFE BRICK MASONRY
STRUCTURES
• IF NOT, WE NEED TO MAKE THEM SAFE BY
RETROFITTING.

SEISMIC STRENGTHENING/ RETROFITTING
 THE TECHNIQUE TO UPGRADE THE STRUCTURE
FOR EARTHQUAKE RESISTANCE TO THE LEVEL
OF PRESENT DAY CODAL REQUIREMENTS
HAVING ORIGINAL STRUCTURAL INADEQUACY
OR INADEQUACY DUE TO MATERIAL
DEGRADATION OVER TIME OR DUE TO
ALTERATIONS CARRIED OUT DURING ITS USE
OVER THE YEARS

SEISMIC STRENGTHENING
 MAIN PURPOSE OF SEISMIC STRENGTHEING IS
TO UPGRADE/PROVIDE THE SEISMIC
RESISTANCE ON A BUILDING SO THAT IT
BECOMES SAFER UNDER EARTHQUAKE

Additional steps
• Repair and rehabilitation to be carried out prior
to retrofitting.
• At the external corners, on each face of the wall,
the width of the mesh for corner reinforcement
may be kept as minimum 250 mm on each wall
so that it covers minimum one brick.
• The mesh reinforcement at the corners may be
kept minimum 300 mm below ground level

Contd.
• Mesh reinforcement used should be galvanized steel
and anti rusting paint should be applied on the cut
points to prevent corrosion.
• MS washers used on wire mesh should be painted
with anti corrosive paint. In the present case, M.S.
washers of size 50X50X5 mm were used to anchor the
mesh reinforcement.
• Since it was not possible to provide roof belt of mesh
of required width in central portion due to segmental
arch construction and ventilators provided near the
top portion, MS flat belt was provided.

•The anchors are to be inserted into the
hole after the grout is inserted within gel
time, which is given 4 minutes for
temperature of 30 degree Celsius and 6
minutes for 20 degree Celsius for the
anchors and chemical grout used from Hilti
India Private Limited.

•In the inside corner reinforcement,
a prefabricated MS piece was used
having two holes, one used for
inserting into the bar which can be
adjusted at any position and other
end used for inserting anchor.
Chemical anchoring was done
thereafter.
Anchoring on wire mesh should be
in staggered (zig-zag) manner.
