Tips for Choosing Earthquake Resistant Building Materials

In addition to construction and connection system is good, earthquake resistant houses also require a light and strong material. Because of the weight of the building the greater the force an earthquake that happened. A simple example is the traditional home of many places in the world which is more earthquake resistant than modern houses. This is due to materials used are mostly from wood and bamboo are lightweight and flexible.

Examples of traditional houses that are durable and resistant to earthquakes are: traditional Japanese houses, made of wood and bamboo to stand firm for hundreds of years after the earthquake hit dozens of times. This show was wooden and bamboo building materials that have been proven toughness.

Modern houses are usually brick or concrete blocks using a wall material. Its brittle and inflexible to make this material are not earthquake resistant. However, for reasons of force against collision, fire, wind and other security reasons many people who still prefer a brick wall. Here are some things you need to consider when using masonry materials:

• Placement of practical columns at each rare 2-3 m along the wall.

• The brick wall anchor needs to be given to the column distance of the order of 8 per brick.

• Do not put the burden of the roof directly above the brick but with reinforcement beams should be sufficient.

• The foundation, walls and beams Sloof is one unit so as to reduce the tremor.

But the current building materials technology developed very rapidly. In lieu of a brick wall you can replace them with lightweight aerated concrete. Available in the form of lightweight concrete blocks and panels that can be used for walls, slab floors or stairs.

There is also a b-panel system which is a new technology sandwich wall. Panel b uses a foam material that is lightly coated with wiremesh for the flexibility of its structure. Lightweight and flexible in accordance with the terms of earthquake resistant houses.

If you want a wall making a fast, lightweight and you can replace the earthquake-resistant structures with conventional mild steel wall frame structure. This structure is actually not just replace the function of the wall, but also replace the function of the column and can support the load of existing structures on it. Thus, the use of this framework structure no longer requires the columns and beams.

Material for wall coverings, exterior wall panels can use mild steel (metal cladding), GRC, fiber cement (calsiboard) or wood. As for the inner walls could use gypsum. Finishing with a good external appearance will not be much different than using a conventional system.

For roofing material to avoid the use of concrete tile or ceramic tile is heavy. The use of roof zincalume (a mixture of zinc and aluminum) or asbestos roof light is recommended. The use of polycarbonate with a varied choice of colors is one option.

The concept of earthquake resistant buildings is essentially an effort to make all elements of the house into a coherent whole that is not easily collapsed by the earthquake. Necessary to realize the proper material selection, a connection element that is strong enough and of course the appropriate implementation of the plan.
