Movement Analysis of Masonry to Construct Earthquake Resisting Structure
There are three basic needs of human beings i.e. food, cloth & shelter. Among third is shelter, this need is fulfill by civil engineers. Due to natural calamities such as tsunami, earthquake etc, the structure get disturb and lead to loss of life & property damage. Earthquake can cause extensive damage to foundation and structures built on them. The effects of an earthquake are mainly viewed with the damages caused to the superstructures of an engineering structure. Most of the structural studies and design advanced thereby deal with earthquake resistant construction of superstructures exclusively. To overcome this issue there is need to construct earthquake resisting structure using various techniques. In this paper focus is made on use of waste product (rubber & plastic footwear) to resist vibration during earthquake. There rubber is waste material, which is used in the wall. Movement analysis has been study with help of sieve shaker instrument which was available in the concrete lab.
