Abstract

An earthquake is an inevitable natural calamity which has drastic negative effects pertaining more on infrastructure that exists. In the lifespan of a building, it is one of the phenomena that cannot be prevented from its occurrence. Thus, it poses a great challenge for structural engineers to protect the buildings along with safeguarding the life of humans and animals during this natural event. With the advent of time, designers have incorporated the usage of smart technologies in the projects undertaken. These efforts are in purview of keeping the structures safe during earthquake and at the same time, managing the cost of structure as well. The cost can be reduced by selective analysis of materials to be used in addition to the integration of smart technology. This will lead to low cost and durable solution for structures to be protected against earthquake, thereby reducing the risk of loss of lives. To study the effect of one such smart technology i.e. usage of 'spring isolator' as a shock absorber for waves generated because of underground movements has been studied. Keeping in mind the limits of developing nations, more often populated with lower and middle income groups, it demands for solutions that are more dedicated to this section of society. Though, the implementation of earthquake resistant methods to safeguard the structures is of utmost concern, people raise the issue of cost to be borne while installing there of homes Therefore, it necessitates the efforts to have low cost technology that can be adopted by lower groups as well. To highlight the effect of cost constraints, a comparison has been made between the traditional and newer low cost technologies in this paper.
