Bhuj EQ Case Study

The 2001 Bhuj earthquake in India caused significant damage due to poor construction practices. Buildings collapsed due to the absence of lintel bands and poor quality materials, resulting in a lack of bonding between structural elements. Soft-story failures and floating columns also contributed to building collapse during the earthquake.
