QuakeSafeAdobe

QuakeSafe Adobe is a low-cost, low-tech reinforcement system which improves the earthquake resistance of adobe-mudbrick houses.
The reinforcement system incorporates:
â€¢ Vertical timber, bamboo or cane poles;
â€¢ Horizontal wire and string;
â€¢ A continuous timber ring/bond beam.

These components combine to effectively restrain movement and enhance the overall strength of the structure.

The system has the potential to substantially and sustainably reduce the vulnerability of traditional adobe houses around the world.
