Summary

This publication intends to inform self-build owners, builders, and local engineers about the effects of earthquakes on low-rise domestic buildings, offering insights on seismic activity in India, building response to earthquakes, and safe repair and strengthening techniques. The Guide draws from Professor AS Arya’s work and emphasizes the importance of making seismic standards readily available to those involved in earthquake disaster management. The engineers aim to contribute to the long-term safety and resilience of the affected communities.
