Smarter Material for Smart Cities
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 0
Abstract
Turkish geophysicist and earthquake scientist Ahmet mete lsikara’s famous observation “QUAKES DON’T KILL PEOPLE, BUILDINGS DO” sums up the potential danger of compromised earthquake resistant design that looms over most of us. Poorly designed building contributed most to the recent catastrophe in Nepal. Thus it echoes the need for resilient and earthquake–resistant structural design and building materials. Builders and developers today are giving more focus to the quality of construction materials used in construction and are focusing on disaster resistant architecture that can withstand such natural calamities. For India to realize the prime minister’s visionary idea of smart cities, it would require not only safe architecture, but also smarter materials and solutions which make construction process easier and fasters. Steel as structural material provides respite to structural engineers and architects alike since it is ductile and is thus resilient. Buildings using steel structures are lighter than concrete once thereby attracting lesser seismic forces and also allow the flexibility of complex shapes. It is important that whenever comfort mobility, energy resources and respect for the environment are challenged by the situation, smart, eco-friendly and innovative construction solutions to harness the need for a lighter, faster and easier method of construction should be activated and start functioning.
