Project Name : Earthquake Management
Theme Name : Disaster Management
We the students of VVDAV Public School are presenting model on earthquake management. To begin with, we can predict earthquakes studying animal behavior as they can sense it much before humans and start behaving in an abnormal manner. The public mobile alert system where in an alert messages will be displayed on their mobile screens and also broadcasted on radio and T.V. to make our buildings earthquake resistant, one of the effective base isolation techniques i.e. air seismic isolation has been used where in a tremor triggers a sensor which activates a compressor and the house is levitated about 3 cm within 1 second and after the shaking is over it get back to its original position. Also additional strength using some retrofitting techniques such as clamping of furniture‟s, diagonal and x-bracing, jacketing etc.
inspired by still existing pagodas that have faced very high magnitude Earthquake, the technology of independent floors and a central heavy mass damper has also been shown in our model. At the end, some relief measures that must be adopted by the government and some do‟s and don‟ts are also highlighted in our model.
