Shelter for Earthquake Victims

Budget: 1000 $
Location: Kocaeli, Turkey

Building earthquake-resistant wooden houses involves careful design and construction considerations to ensure the structure can withstand seismic forces.Structural System:
o Post-and-Beam Construction: Wooden houses can be designed using a post-and-beam structural system, which allows for flexibility and movement during an earthquake. The vertical posts and horizontal beams distribute seismic forces more effectively.
o Shear Walls: Incorporating shear walls made of wood can enhance the building’s lateral stability. These walls are designed to absorb and dissipate seismic energy.
