Estimation of losses for adobe buildings in Pakistan
Full text linkAdobe buildings are vulnerable to seismic forces. Large scale destructions and casualties have been caused due
to the collapse of adobe buildings during the past earthquakes. A significant number of adobe structures exist in
different parts of Pakistan, similar to other parts of the world. Since Pakistan lies in a seismic active region, it is
necessary to assess the level of vulnerability of these buildings in order to estimate associated losses during a
seismic event. This paper presents the results of a study which was conducted to quantify damages to adobe
buildings based on their fragility curves. The adobe buildings were found to be highly vulnerable to low intensity
earthquakes. The vulnerability of these buildings has been compared with the European adobe buildings. It was
noted that Pakistani adobe buildings were slightly less resistant to earthquakes as compared to similar buildings
in Europe. Retrofitting solutions were suggested in order to increase the seismic capacity of adobe buildings in
Pakistan
