Summary

This Guide is written by UK based Gujariti engineers who are professionally concerned that repairs and strengthening works on low rise domestic buildings damaged by the Bhuj earthquake are not being carried out properly, nor employing some of the Indian and other international standards that describe how non-engineered buildings can be made more earthquake resistant. This Guide is produced to help owners and builders, as well as other interested parties. The Guide is specific to Kutch but may also be relevant to other parts of Gujarat or India where similar forms of materials and construction technology are used.
