Abstract

The past few decades have witnessed an increase in the number of damaging earthquakes in India, with tendamaging earthquakes occurring during the last two decades itself. The vast extent of damage and the consequent loss of life associated with these events reflect the poor construction practice in India. Before the 2001 Bhuj earthquake, constructions with poor seismic resistance were assumed to be a feature of non-urban areas, with urban structures considered safer due to the use of engineering knowledge and modern construction materials. However, this earthquake shattered the myth of urban seismic safety through widespread damage to modern buildings. The low awareness among the general public towards structural safety and the inability of regulatory bodies and technical professionals in maintaining quality standards in constructions has created an urgent need to educate the leaders, public, city planners, architects and the engineering professional about the consequences of earthquakes.

There is thus a need to develop standard building typology catalogues of prevalent construction types in India, and to further determine the seismic vulnerability of each class of building in the catalogue. When classes of buildings are considered for risk assessment, the vulnerability can be established in terms of the structural characteristics, and suitable modifiers to the vulnerability function can be established in terms of the geometrical characteristics. Since the construction practices vary in different parts of the country even when using the same construction material, the vulnerability function of different buildings in the typology catalogue will need to be developed for each region separately.

This report presents a summary of the building typologies proposed for India. The proposed building typology is hierarchical, and considers material of construction, structural system, structural irregularities, building height, code compliance and level ofmaintenance. The building typology catalogue is also developed in a format that is amenable to database management and use of portable computing devices for field data collection.

Chapter 1 Project Background

India, being a large country, faces continuous threat from natural or manmade disasters in different parts of the country. Earthquake disaster is one such challenge which is sudden and leaves no time for preparation unlike others such as flood or hurricane where advance warning is possible. Earthquake risk reduction requires knowledge of likely consequences of an earthquake in the region or area of interest. Since the impact of earthquakes is strongly dependent on the strength of constructions in the affected area, realistic assessment is feasible only if the nature of constructions and their ability to withstand earthquakes is known. As a result, it is imperative to know about the different types of building constructions in the country and their seismic vulnerability, i.e., expected performance during earthquakes. Use of this knowledge when formulating earthquake risk reduction programs will not only help to reduce human and economic loss, but also to decide the long term actions to increase earthquake resistance of the built environment.

The seismic vulnerability quantifies the propensity of types of buildings to be damaged due to specified ground motions. When carrying out risk assessment of large areas, where the built environment information may be available only at low resolution, vulnerability of the buildings implied in macro-seismic intensity scales is most commonly used. There is thus a need to develop standard building typology catalogues of prevalent construction types in India, and to further determine the seismic vulnerability of each class of building in the catalogue. When classes of buildings are considered for risk assessment, the vulnerability can be established in terms of the structural characteristics, and suitable modifiers to the vulnerability function can be established in terms of the geometrical characteristics. Since the construction practices vary in different parts of the country even when using the same construction material, the vulnerability function of different buildings in the typology catalogue will need to be developed for each region separately.

Keeping above objectives in mind an ambitious project “Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Building Types in India” was started in June-2011. Project, funded and monitored by National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), was taken up jointly by 5 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). To account for the regional construction practices five different IITs in different parts of the country were chosen: (1) IIT Roorkee – North Region,(2) IIT Guwahati – North East Region, (3) IIT Kharagpur – East Region, (4) IIT Bombay – West Region, and (5) IIT Madras – South Region. The overall project coordinated by IIT Bombay and Prof Ravi Sinha wasProject Coordinator. The main aim of the project was to define building typologies for Indian construction and to assess their seismic vulnerability.

Chapter 2 Building Typology for Seismic Vulnerability Assessment

The earthquake resistance of buildings greatly influences seismic losses. The overwhelming majority of deaths and injuries in earthquakes occur because of the disintegration and collapse of buildings, and much of the economic loss and social disruption caused by earthquakes is also attributable to the failure of buildings and other human-made structures.

Studies of earthquake damage show that some types of construction tend to be more vulnerable than others. The form of construction of the main vertical load-bearing elements is one of the main determinants of vulnerability of a building. For instance, a building with unreinforced masonry walls can be expected to be much more vulnerable than a timber frame building. Thus, preparation of a building typology catalogue and using the catalogue for seismic vulnerability assessment is necessary (Coburn and Spence, 2002).

A standard building typology catalogue has not been prepared in the country that considers the resistance of buildings to earthquake ground motions as the primary criteria. Preliminary efforts in classifying construction typology for housing in India highlight the diversity in materials and technologies used in construction within the country (EERI-IAEE, 2002).

From the understanding of the problem and the observations regarding wide variation in behaviour of buildings to earthquake ground motions, it is important that a Building Typology Catalogue of India be prepared from seismic vulnerability considerations. The building types given in the catalogue should further be analysed to determine the vulnerability of the each building type. This should also consider the modifications to the vulnerability due to geometric and/or structural modifiers. The outcome of this effort can then provide invaluable information for carrying out earthquake damage scenario analysis, and thereby help to quantify the seismic risk in different parts of the country.

The necessity of preparing a building typology catalogue in the country and determination of seismic vulnerability of different building types has been recognised by experts. In the absence of a building typology catalogue, the Buildings Materials Technologies Promotion Council (BMTPC) has used housing census data for preparing the Vulnerability Atlas of India. The Atlas has provided potential damageability of different buildings on the basis of their material of construction. A more detailed assessment has not been feasible in any country-wide study in the absence of the building typology catalogue, the seismic vulnerability functions and more detailed information on built environment.

Some damage scenario studies have considered the seismic vulnerability of some building types in pilot areas (Arya, 2008, Sinha and Adarsh, 1999, Gulati, 2006, Prasad et al.,

3

2009). These studies have considered sample areas and have provided earthquake damage scenario based on the available information and limited data collection. The structural characteristics of buildings in these studies were not collected to develop the building typology catalogue and thus not directly useful for this work. Apart from modern constructions in urban and semi-urban areas, vernacular architecture and non-engineered, traditional construction techniques are widespread, not only in rural and semi-urban areas, but they also constitute a majority of the dwellings in urban historical nuclei. Hence there is a need to quantify the seismic resistance of such traditional constructions.

Chapter 3 Proposed Building Typologies for India

Based on building typologies adopted world-wide for seismic vulnerability, the building typology catalogue for Indian conditions is proposed.

Important international models of building typologies for seismic vulnerability have been evaluated for their technical details and relevance to Indian constructions. These models have been used in different parts of the world. It is noted that the initial proposals for building typology were primarily aimed to improve the ability to assess damage intensity following an earthquake. The typology thus consisted of broad classifications based on the material of construction or a combination of material of constriction and the basic structural system. Over time, as tools for seismic risk assessment were developed, the building typologies have been extended to provide useful data for risk assessment.

It is also seen that very few countries have country-specific building typology. Researchers in several other countries have used standard typology available in published literature.

The recent developments in building typology have considered the requirements of more advanced risk assessment methodologies. These typology catalogues therefore require much larger number of parameters. The typology has been defined consistent with the requirement of vulnerability assessment or for specification of vulnerability functions. It is noted that the parameters used in typology catalogue facilitate selection of vulnerability functions from an ensemble of standard functions.

The Typology Catalogue for Indian buildings has been proposed after evaluating the typology catalogues in other parts of the world. In addition, the proposed typology catalogue has also considered the peculiarities of construction practice in India and experiences from past earthquakes. Parameters such as material of construction, load resisting system, number of storeys, horizontal and vertical irregularities,quality of construction and level of ground are considered for categorization of buildings. It is proposed that buildings can be given unique 12 letters alpha-numeral code following the survey. The survey form and methods are not included in this report and are covered elsewhere. However, it may be mentioned that the survey will cover a much large number of attributes so that in addition to identification of the building type, the survey will also provide useful information regarding exposure and likely consequences of damage due to an earthquake.

Table 3.1 classifies buildings in various categories. A unique alpha-numeric 12 letters code is assigned to each building typology. Each of the parameter considered has been given a two letter code (Alphabet/Numeric).

Chapter 5 Building Typologies Prevalent Across Various Regions of the Country

Based on the series of field surveys carried out by various IITs across the country, most of the building typologies from Table 3.1 are validated. Out of 12 letter unique alpha-numeric code, 4 letter code is used to describe the building typology based on the primary material of construction and load resisting system. These typologies can further be classified into different types depending upon various parameters such as number of storeys, vertical/horizontal irregularities, quality of construction and level of the ground to get its 12 digit unique alpha-numeric code.

Building typologies which are common in all regions of the country are listed below:

1. Random rubble stone with mud/lime mortar (MAST) 2. Dressed stone masonry with cement mortar (MCST) 3. Unreinforced brick masonry in mud/lime mortar (MHBW) 4. Unreinforced brick masonry in cement mortar (MJBW) 5. Masonry mixed structure with timber, bamboo and other wood elements (MRMS) 6. RC moment resisting frame designed for gravity loads only (CAMF) 7. RC moment resisting frame designed with seismic features (CBMF) 8. RC moment resisting frame with unreinforced masonry infill walls (CCMF) 9. RC moment resisting frame with flat slab structure (CDMF) 10. RC moment resisting frame with open ground storey structure (CGMF) 11. Steel moment resisting frame with light weight partitions (SCMF) 12. Steel braced frame with various floor/roof systems (SDBF) 13. Steel single storey light metal frame structure (SELF) 14. Steel mixed structure with reinforced concrete (SGMS)

5.1 Random rubble stone with mud/lime mortar (MAST)

Random rubble stone is of irregular shape, including small or medium-size river stones, smooth stone boulders with rounded edges, or stones from a quarry. Sometimes, these round stones are partially dressed to achieve a relatively regular shape. These stones are usually laid in a low-strength mortar such as mud or lime mortar. The wall thickness is usually on the order of 600 mm, but it can be excessively large—up to 2 m. In many instances, the exterior walls in the building are constructed first and the interior walls are constructed later without any connection. Some example buildings of this typology are illustrated below in Table 5.1

5.2 Dressed stone masonry with cement mortar (MCST)

Dressed stone masonry is constructed using stones of regular shape that look like solid blocks. A stone with a rectangular or square face is also called ashlar, hence the name ashlar masonry. Mortar in dressed stone masonry walls is usually of poor quality, however the seismic resistance is superior compared to other types of stone masonry due to frictional forces between adjacent stones. The thickness of dressed stone masonry walls is in the range of 300 to 600 mm. A few examples of dressed stone masonry with cement mortar buildings are shown below in Table 5.2.

5.3 Unreinforced brick masonry in mud/lime mortar (MHBW)

This type of construction is generally found in rural areas. Typically, this is a single-story construction. The main load-bearing elements are unreinforced brick masonry walls in mud/lime mortar built without any seismic provisions. This construction type has been in practice for less than 100 years. There are typically no foundations in buildings of this type.There is no special provision for the lateral load transfer; in general, these buildings are very weak against the earthquake loads.

Chapter 7 Discussions

The present documentfocuses on standard building typology catalogue proposed for seismic vulnerability assessment in India. It discusses building typologies which are common in various parts of the country. The proposed building typologies were validated by pilot field surveys carried out in various parts of the country by respective IITs. It was noted that though the building typology may be same for two different regions, the local variations in terms of methods and quality of construction are quite different. Especially the non-engineered building typologies in various regions have such local variations. Thus, it gives an insight into building typologies prevalent in different parts of the country as well.
