24. Seismic Zone 24

25. Haunches In case of Joint failure, Use High strength concrete Increase section near joints Provide haunches. 25

26. Light weight material In recent times, many new systems and devices using non-conventional civil engineering materials have been developed, either to reduce the earthquake forces acting on a structure or to absorb part of seismic energy. 26

29. Avoid Hammering & Pounding 29

30. Suggestions Avoid weak column and strong beam design Provide thick slab which will help as a rigid diaphragm Provide cross walls which will stiffen the structures Provide shear walls in a symmetrical fashion Increase in the transverse (Shear) reinforcement. Horizontal lintel band should be provided Revision/ updation of building code of Pakistan The building must be regular and symmetrical in shape Reinforcing bars should be provided at the corners and the junctions of the walls 30
