Earthquake is considered as major natural disasters which affect most of the parts of India. Earthquakes caused huge damage to life and property national level as well as global. India poses a significant threat earthquake vulnerable zone of falling by almost 59% of the geographical area. Severe damage and poor performance of buildings in all over the India during an earthquake are a matter of serious concern in which Aligarh is of one of the city in India.[1] Disaster management is an approach which minimizes the impacts of earthquakes on life and property. First of all broad outline information about a particular area (study area) has been collected which includes topography, demography, seismic category by field monitoring. A field survey was conducted to assess the expected seismic performance of multi-stores, buildings (engineered buildings) as it checks the efficiency of new construction and designing of buildings and the code of earthquake resistant construction of buildings (including the materials used in the construction). This survey carried by the data collected from the persons living in different area about the little bit knowledge related to the earthquake. In this respect disaster management deals the construction of safe and secure buildings in that particular area, along with local awareness about the causes, effect and mitigation measures of earthquake. Evaluation of new construction techniques, along with increased understanding of seismic forces and building response certainly contributed positively to reduce the seismic vulnerability and prevent loss of lives, property and environmental degradation. |
