    1. The document provides recommendations for constructing earthquake safer RCC frame buildings up to three stories tall. It outlines standards for building foundations, columns, beam construction, and reinforcement bar placement. 2. Foundations should be at least 1500mm deep and extend below filling soil into original firm soil. Column footings should be at least 200mm thick and use combined footings or strap beams at property lines. 3. Columns should be a minimum size of 300x300mm or 75mm larger than beams. They require lateral ties of 8mm bar at 100-150mm spacing and 4-8 bars of 12-16mm rebar depending on location in the building. Lapping of rebar should be staggered and

    Recommendations for construction of

    Earthquake Safer Buildings


    For RCC Frame Structure buildings up to three stories
    (For Buildings with room sizes up to 3.0 x 4.5m)
    1. Construction of Foundations
    The minimum depth of foundation should be up to 1500 mm.
    Foundation should not be laid on flling soil and should goes up to original frm soil.
    The thickness at side of sloped footing should be minimum of 200 mm.
    If columns are located at property line of neighboring plot either combined footing or strap beams should be
    constructed to avoid the eccentricity of foundation.
    When the columns are located very close combined footings should be provided. The thickness of footing,
    numbers, size and layers of reinforcement bars (single or double layer) depend upon the load in foundations.
    Vibrators must be used during concreting works in foundation.
    2. Construction of Columns
    Columns should be comparatively stronger as all vertical loads of building transfer to the
    foundations through columns and as well as they withstand lateral seismic forces generated by
    earthquake.
    All columns should be in grid in both direction in plan.
    The minimum sizes of columns for building up to three stories with room sizes not more
    than 4.5 m. x 3.0 m. should be 300 mm x 300 mm or 75 mm more than width of beam.
    There should be minimum 4 numbers of 16mm diameter reinforcement bars in
    columns located in outer faces of building and minimum 8 numbers of 12 mm diameter
    reinforcement bars in columns located at centers.
    8mm reinforcement bars should be used for lateral ties. The spacing of ties below the
    foundation should be 100 mm c/c up to tie beam. In the superstructure the spacing of ties should be 100 mm c/c up to 600
    mm above and below the beam bottom/top and 150 mm spacing in mid height of columns. The length of hooks of ties
    should be 75 mm and should be bent in 135 inside the column as shown in fgure no. 2 (d).
    The ratio of concrete mix should be preferably M20 (1 cement : 1.5 sand: 3 aggregates) with concrete cover 40 mm (clear
    distance from face of column/formwork to the vertical reinforcement).
    The formwork should be removed only after 24 hours of concreting. The curing of columns should be carried properly by
    putting water on the column surfaces for minimum 7 days. Jute bags can be used to cover the column surfaces during curing to
    keep the surfaces wet.
    Shear key of size 100 x 100 x 100 mm should be provided at the top surface of the column to avoid cold joint between old
    and new concrete and to strengthen the column as shown in the fgure 2 (b).
    3. Lapping in Columns
    The lapping in columns should be at the mid height of column starting
    from 600 mm from top of beam or ending up to 600 mm from bottom of
    beam as shown in fgure no.
    3 (a).
    The reinforcement bars
    should not be lapped at one
    level i.e. should be lapped in
    staggered position aligned
    in a vertical line as shown in
    fgure no. 3 (b).
    The lapping length should
    be 60 times the diameter
    of reinforcement bars (for
    concrete mix 1:2:4). The
    spacing of lateral ties should
    be 100 mm c/c through out
    the length of lapping.
    4. Construction of Beams
    There should be minimum 2 nos of 16 mm diameter reinforcement bars at
    top and bottom of beams.
    Extra bars should be provided at support and span as per the length of beams
    Extra top bars should be provided up to 1/3 span of beam measured from
    the inside face of the columns and extra bottom bars should be provided
    at mid span leaving
    1/7 length of beam
    measured from inside
    face of column in
    both sides.
    The minimum size
    of vertical stirrups
    should be 8 mm
    diameter. The spacing
    should be 100 mm
    c/c at 1/3 span of
    beam at supports
    and 150 mm c/c at
    remaining mid span
    of beam.
