Earthquake resistance building constructionamar kumar
Buildings constructed without earthquake-resistant designs suffered major damage and loss of life during the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Introducing better construction techniques that account for seismic activity could help mitigate the effects of future earthquakes by making structures stronger and better able to withstand shaking. The 7.0 magnitude quake that struck Haiti in 2010 killed over 230,000 people and left 1.5 million homeless, largely due to buildings collapsing that were not built to withstand earthquakes.

tells about how the earthquakes are happen, effect of earthquakes on buildings and design methods to be followed to design earthquake resistance building.
This document discusses various earthquake-resistant features used in building design including:
1) Using beams as ductile weak links rather than columns through strong-column weak-beam design.
2) Improving masonry wall behavior by controlling wall dimensions and heights, ensuring proper construction and bonding, and adding horizontal reinforcement.
3) Using shear walls in reinforced concrete buildings to provide strength and stiffness throughout the building height.
The document discusses the structure of the Earth and the causes of earthquakes. It describes the three main layers of the Earth - crust, mantle, and core. It explains that earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries. The document also summarizes methods of earthquake-resistant design, including base isolation devices that separate buildings from the ground and seismic dampers that absorb seismic energy. It notes that while base isolation can be used for existing structures, seismic dampers are more expensive to install. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of earthquake-resistant construction and quality control to ensure public safety.
Engineering Geology (Civil Engineering Applications)GAURAV. H .TANDON
This document discusses the important geological factors to consider when selecting sites for dams and reservoirs. Narrow river valleys, shallow bedrock, and competent bedrock foundations are desirable for reducing dam construction costs. Sedimentary rocks like sandstone and limestone can cause water leakage from reservoirs depending on their porosity. Metamorphic rocks like gneiss and quartzite are generally impermeable. Geological structures must also be considered, with horizontal or tilted strata being most suitable and faults or intense fracturing making a site undesirable. The document outlines these considerations in detail.
The document discusses earthquakes and techniques for improving earthquake resistance in buildings. It defines earthquakes and describes how they occur due to movement in the earth's crust. It then covers types of earthquakes, causes and effects, seismic waves, and performance and design considerations for improving earthquake resistance. Specific techniques discussed include using shear walls, base isolation methods, energy dissipation devices, and keeping buildings in compression. The conclusion emphasizes following construction standards and periodic training to help assure earthquake-resistant buildings.

The document summarizes the history of population censuses in Nepal, beginning with early counts of households prior to the 19th century. It then discusses how early population estimates were made and challenges in collecting data at that time. It provides examples of early census methods from the UK and US, and how technology has advanced census taking over time. Finally, it defines open data and discusses why opening government and other data is important for innovation, efficiency and transparency.
Final report-on-survey-of-internet-standardization-in-nepal-2014Shreedeep Rayamajhi
This research report focuses towards the behavior of internet users in Nepal. This paper highlights the current standards of Internet in Nepal. Practically speaking, technology has many uses where people are knowingly or unknowingly exploiting its use but on the same hand due to lack of proper knowledge they are also fighting to struggle to keep up with the standards of internet.
Nepal made a significant improvement in the field of Openness, especially in Open Data. The government showed some commitment by starting a discussion and made some notable decision to promote the culture of collaboration. This was made possible because of the active participation of CSOs and grassroots awareness. Civic technology has been the backbone, projects like Open Data Nepal, AskNepal etc are making an impact. In the session, I will share how we can run the grassroots awareness to create an inclusive ecosystem and use civic technology to develop reliable products.
1. The document discusses the value and impact of public libraries in Ontario and the work done by FOPL to measure and demonstrate this.
2. FOPL has implemented statistical measurement strategies across Ontario to prove the value of libraries and now tracks numbers longitudinally.
3. Surveys show libraries are the most used cultural institution in Ontario, with 73% of residents using libraries compared to 32-55% for other activities.
The document discusses the work of the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKF) in making knowledge open and accessible through open data initiatives. The OKF builds tools to work with open data, connects people and organizations, and provides training and resources through their School of Data. Open data has led to benefits like helping firefighters locate homes more easily and reducing infant mortality and improving health outcomes in Uganda. The OKF argues that open data can help solve global problems by giving choice, transparency, and allowing ideas to spread and scale more easily. They encourage people to get involved in helping create a more open knowledge society.
The document discusses barriers to open gender data and the role of open data in promoting gender equality. It notes that most countries lack open data policies and initiatives at the national level. Additionally, there is insufficient research on open data for inclusiveness due to lack of funding and collaboration between women's groups, digital rights groups, and gender experts. Cultural and social barriers also prevent women from engaging with data and the technology sector. The document advocates for quantifying unpaid labor, the gender pay gap, and other metrics to make the case for prioritizing gender data. It provides recommendations for advocating for gender data, such as starting simply, building capacity on using gender data, and engaging stakeholders on both the supply and demand sides.

The study examined how sharing governance information online through the Philippines' Full Disclosure Policy has impacted local governments and how the information has been used. The researchers analyzed province websites for compliance and interviewed officials and citizens. They found that while provinces shared timely information, it was not in open formats. Only some data could be published as open datasets if standards were established. Most citizens were unaware of online information and interested in different data, and had difficulties using data due to skills gaps.

Climate Corporation: From Open Data to Risk and Farm Management Products for ...WorldBankGroupFinances
The Climate Corporation’s mission is to help all the world’s people and businesses adapt to climate change. They aim to help farmers around the world protect and improve their farming operations and profitability.
For their product offerings they are accessing and joining geographical and environmental data, agricultural production data and weather data at any location in the US.
Releasing open data fuels economic activity, creating value in both the public and private sector. Research from McKinsey suggests that seven sectors could generate more than $3 trillion a year in additional value as a result of open data, which is already giving rise to hundreds of entrepreneurial businesses and helping established companies to segment markets, define new products and services, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of operations.
While governments looking for economic outcomes from open data must focus on releasing assets with business value, the reach of that category across sectors is quite broad, as new research from New York University (NYU) makes clear.
Metabiota is an infectious disease research organization focused on the outbreak detection and tracking. As far as open data is concerned, Metabiota collects human and animal samples looking for evidence of disease emergence in field sites located in viral hot spots. They do so as part of formal and informal networks comprised of Ministries of Health, labs and universities, along with government partners in places like Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ukraine and China.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

2. What’s Code for Nepal?
• A startup that aims to increase the access of
practical open data to the general public and
boost digital/data literacy, especially for
women to connect them with potential job
opportunities.
• Mia Mitchell (@ameliahmitchell) and Ravi
Kumar (@RaviNepal) launched Code for Nepal
in February, 2014. We are still in Alpha phase.
By @RaviNepal for @codefornepal
By @RaviNepal for @codefornepal
3. Brief History of Open Data in Nepal
• In 2012, Open Nepal was launched to build an
open data ecosystem in Nepal.
• Civil society organizations, techies and
activists are increasing access to open data.
By @RaviNepal for @codefornepal
By @RaviNepal for @codefornepal
4. Availability and Usage of Open Data
• The open data community is mostly looking at
aid data and government data.
• The usage of open data in Nepal is still in its
early phase. At Code for Nepal, we are
currently looking at Census data and Poverty
Alleviation Fund Data.
By @RaviNepal for @codefornepal
By @RaviNepal for @codefornepal
5. Risks and Challenges for Code for Nepal
• Access to open data remains a challenge in
Nepal, like in most fragile states. Thanks to
Open Nepal, we are seeing progress.
• We believe the biggest risk is that open data
revolution will be confined to small group.
There is a need to invite and engage public at
large, including outside the capital city.
By @RaviNepal for @codefornepal
By @RaviNepal for @codefornepal
6. Current Projects of Code for Nepal
• We are working to launch a nationwide survey
targeting young women to discover their
interest in digital literacy, open data or
transparency.
• We are partnering with journalists to help
them publish data-based stories.
By @RaviNepal for @codefornepal
By @RaviNepal for @codefornepal
7. What’s the relationship between
Nepal’s progress and Open Data?
• Open data has enormous potential to help
people make decisions based on evidence.
• In Nepal, we are still recovering from a
decade-long civil war, confusion and fear run
high, and data can provide objective guidance
to stakeholders.
