  • IIT-Roorkee Scientists Design Quake-Resistant House From Used Tyres

    Scientists at IIT Roorkee have come up with a new construction technique for earthquake resistant housing using recycled pieces of rubber tyres and the scheme is based on the principle of dissipating energy. Agarwal said that the model was for single storey and plans were on for testing a similar model for a double storey. “There would not be any increase in construction cost. The damage due to quake will be minimal,” he said. The residential building system constructed with this technology has higher energy dissipation capacity as compared to conventional masonry buildings.
