  • Bamboo House Building Manual
    Manual on Building Bamboo Houses This manual on how to build a bamboo house comes as a result of research conducted at the Engineering Structures Research Centre at City University by a team of development engineers funded by Pell Frischmann Consulting Engineers. The purpose of their research is to help communities where this kind of information is not accessible and yet the most valuable. The aim of the information provided here is to share knowledge on how to construct low-rise housing that is resistant to earthquakes, particularly in developing countries. The design plans produced by this team require only basic construction skills and tools. The materials are sustainable, durable, and can often be locally obtained. The development team is headed by Professor Kuldeep S. Virdi of City University, London, and Mr. Rossen D. Rashkoff. We appreciate their efforts and commitment to making safe and sustainable housing more accessible. Building materials 1. Introduction The construction materials for building a bamboo house should be readily available and accessible. Traditionally used construction materials are considered. The bamboo based house has a very low weight therefore foundations can be minimised. For wall construction are used wall panels, assembled from split bamboo grids and chicken steel mesh and plastered with cement mortar. Basic materials for house components (bamboo, wire, bolts, chicken mesh, and cement) are inexpensive. Bamboo can tolerate high values of deformations in the elastic range i.e. possesses high elasticity. Therefore bamboo houses when properly constructed are ductile i.e. being able to sway back and forth during an earthquake, without any damage to the bamboo poles.

  • Improved Adobe Mudbrick in Application – Child-Care Centre Construction in El Salvador
    13th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering Vancouver, B.C., Canada August 1-6, 2004 Paper No. 705 IMPROVED ADOBE MUDBRICK IN APPLICATION – CHILD-CARE CENTRE CONSTRUCTION IN EL SALVADOR Dominic DOWLING1 SUMMARY Major earthquakes in Latin America, Asia and The Middle East have served as recent reminders of the vulnerability of traditional adobe (mudbrick) dwellings to the force of earthquakes. A host of research, training and construction projects continue to address this precarious situation and there have been various publications describing the developments in improved adobe (mudbrick) design and construction in recent years. These publications have mostly originated from research institutions and have tended to focus on the technical and experimental details of a variety of improvement systems. The dissemination of this important information is a vital component in the challenge to promote and build safer homes. Furthermore, these advances in technical detail must be accompanied by practical information, which relates to the actual application of the proposed systems, addressing the advantages and disadvantages of each technique. This paper attempts to address the current deficiency of this practical information, and thus provide adobe constructors and proponents with a realistic understanding of some of the practical issues related to improved adobe construction. This paper describes the technical and practical aspects and ‘lessons learned’ from a recent improved adobe construction project in El Salvador, as well as drawing on field investigations, laboratory research and other literature. The paper concludes with a proposed addition to the current technical evaluation of the performance of improvement systems: the assessment of the skill level and resources required to effectively incorporate improved adobe systems.
