BUILDERS TOOLKIT
WHAT TO DO WHEN PLANNING TO BUILD
This presentation is part of the DEVELOPERS, DESIGNERS & BUILDERS TOOLKIT of the CDEMA Earthquake Readiness Public Awareness & Education Campaign in the Caribbean
2009

This toolkit is downloadable from http://www.weready.org

WHAT WE WILL LEARN Best Practices For:
Site Selection & Construction Planning
Building and Designing
Strengthening Schemes in construction
Construction along a coastline
Building in Tsunami-prone areas
4
FACT
Every year, earthquakes take the lives of thousands, and destroy property. It is imperative that structures are designed to resist earthquake forces, in order to reduce the loss of life. Structural design plays an important role.
5
FACT
Ground shaking from earthquakes can collapse structures;
Buildings not seismically sound or placed on unsuitable soil are at risk of collapsing;
When an earthquake occurs in a populated area, it may cause deaths, injuries and extensive property damage.
6
Hence the claim that
"Earthquake don't kill people, buildings do."
7
THINGS TO CONSIDER
The size of the earthquake does not mean there will be more damage and destruction. Rather, it is how well informed people are at responding to earthquakes and how much money can be spent on making structures able to respond to the ground movements.

SEISMIC ZONES
Zone A: Risk of widespread collapse and destruction -MSK 1X or greater)
Zone B: Risk of collapse and heavy damage (MSK V111 likely)
Zone C: Risk of damage – (MSK V11 likely)
Zone D: Risk of minor damage (MSK V1 maximum) http://www.nicee.org/iaee/E_Chapter3.pdf

Firm soils refer to those have safe bearing value;Weak soils are liable to compaction and liquefaction under earthquake
conditions
All structures should be designed and built to stand up to
earthquakes.
Ensure that the land to be developed is suitable and the proposed building is adequately designed to survive an earthquake.
The more you know, the better prepared you are. Knowing … that’s where
reducing vulnerability starts.
12
Investigate
Find out whether
the area in which you intend to build is susceptible to rockslides or land slippage
13
TALK
TO OLD-TIMERS
14
CONSULT
ZONAL MAPS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE PUBLIC SERVICE
15
RESEARCH BUILDING CODES
16
EMPLOY BEST PRACTICE BUILDING AND DESIGN STANDARDS
17
Consult a qualified engineer, architect or other authority to find out how safe your location is.
Build on stable soil in an area not prone to natural hazards.
Construct only in approved Construction zones.
WHEN PLANNING TO BUILDSite selection
GET APPROVALSite selection…
Get planning approval in principle/outline approval.
Coastal areas are vulnerable to tsunamis. Set back to higher ground where possible.
19
DESIGN
20
21
Design in accordance with the recommended building codes. *
Ensure that “seismic-proofing” takes into account the need to secure critical equipment.
Design connections of building elements (footings, floor, wall, roof, etc) properly.
DESIGN
Select favourable building envelope geometry.
DESIGN

3 D CONCEPTS
Interrelated, refers to buildings ability to suffer extensive deformation without collapsing
Buildings ability to suffer extensive damage without partial or complete collapse
Ductability /Deformability
Damageability
http://www.nicee.org/iaee/E_Chapter3.pdf
Set back at least 6 m from the back/crest of terrace, and 6m from the back of the slope.
Build away from large, mature trees approx. 6 m away or a distance equal to the tree height. 27
CONSTRUCTON
CONSTRUCTION
Brace building elements properly. Design the columns to be stronger
than the beams
28
CONSTRUCTION
29
CONSTRUCTION
Use quake-resistant building techniques Use correct quality construction materials
Store construction materials properly
30
Protect window and door openings to keep the envelope watertight.
Protect foundations from scour, build the ground
floor above flood water level.
Locate top of footings 600 mm (2’) minimum below the external ground.
Position the ground floor 300 mm (12”) minimum above the external ground.

SOME REQUIREMENTS FOR STRUCTURAL SAFETY
33
SOME REQUIREMENTS FOR STRUCTURAL SAFETY
Design free standing walls to be as safe as a vertical cantilever.
Horizontal reinforcement is necessary to transfer load
Walls should be tied.
Place shear walls on both axes of the building
http://www.nicee.org/iaee/E_Chapter3.pdf
34
SOME REQUIREMENTS FOR STRUCTURAL SAFETY
A shear wall must be capable of resisting all horizontal forces.
Roof and floor elements tied and able to exhibit diaphragm action
Trusses must be anchored to the supporting walls and have an arrangement for transferring their own inertia force to the end walls

STRENGTHENING SCHEMES
42
– Water tanks– Water heaters– Gas cylinders– Storage wall units
IF IT CAN FALL/OPEN – VOLT BRACE OR FASTEN!
Brace or fasten - Heavy furniture - Mirrors- Light fixtures- Shelves - TVs
43
OTHER STRENGTHENING SCHEMES
44
Add plywood sheathing to soft storyManufactured strong-wallsMechanical energy-dissipation devicesLots of measures for household contents
– Strap water heater to frame– Latches on cabinets– Strap tall furniture to frame– Shelf lips
REMEMBER ….. A high percentage of earthquake loss is caused by failure of :
o ceilings o windows o doors o partitions o cupboard and shelves o external cladding/sidingo electrical & mechanical systems o & other components of buildings

In other words, where is it likely to be cost-effective to seismically strengthen a structure?
WHEN PLANNING TO BUILD >>>
TSUNAMIS & FLOOD PRONE AREAS
54
Know the risk for tsunamis in the area.
Consider a Tsunami Evacuation Point higher than 35 metres above sea level.
Download Checklist for Designing to Counteract Natural Hazards from
Site Selection
http://weready.org/builders.php
55
Design & Construction(Tsunami)
Elevate coastal buildings because most tsunamis waves are less than 30 metres high
56
Install features to divert waves away from the property.
Tsunamis & Flood prone areasAdditional Shoreline protection
57
Protect coral reefs.
Stabilise dunes
Maintain and/or build wetlands and mangroves and keep them healthy. These act as natural shock absorbers, soaking up destructive waves.
In the 2004 tsunamis in Asia, wetlands were believed to have protected lives and properties.
Mangroves can absorb 70-90% of the energy from a normal wave. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4547032.stm

.
Shrubs, grasslands, and marshes will not provide adequate protection against tsunami waves, but will help to absorb flood water.
Tsunamis & Flood prone areasAdditional Shoreline protection
Where possible, build structures to help protect the shoreline from tsunami damage.
Build seawalls and revetment structures to help protect the shore from storm waves.

And finally…A Caribbean Building Code?
There is currently no regional building standard to guide and enforce safe building.
The Caribbean Regional Organisation for Standards Quality (CROSQ) Regional Building Standard project is intended to review base codes, prepare Caribbean Application Documents, train users, strengthen building authorities and build consensus among key stakeholders.
