This movie shows Bangladeshi masons being trained to build earthquake resistant houses with minor improvements and cost, cutting back instead on needless "short-cuts". Two model houses were created on a 1:10 scale and later tested on a shaketable during a public demonstration.

(Dhaka, May 2007)
Project implemented in cooperation with tge Bangladesh Disaster Preparedness Centre (BDPC) and National Society for Earthquake Technology (NSET) Nepal

  • what materials were used in this project???

  • I am highly pleased by viewing the physical demonstration of building failure due to earth shaking. It is a beginning of alerting the people of Bangladesh by showing the reality through replica. In fact I did a lot for building earthquake risk awareness only through PowerPoint presentations. It is taking better shape. I believe UNCRD will be giving more effort and provide support to the innocent city dwellers.
