000009371 520__ $$2eng$$aBangladesh is extremely vulnerable to seismic activity. While the earthquake resistant building design and construction code has been developed in sophisticated national/city level, the implementation at the local level has been more of an exception than the rule. People used to make their houses by local materials and local construction technique without any engineering philosophy especially in rural areas. Therefore, there is an imminent need to know the actual physical condition of the rural houses and to estimate the risk associated with them, to bring into force simple, user friendly, non-engineered construction practices for use by the community and the construction artisans. A physical survey has been done on the existing condition of the rural housing. From this information the problems are identified with respect to earthquake resistant non-engineered housing technique. Techniques of strengthening of existing rural houses to make them earthquake resistant are elaborated and earthquake resistant building technology for new houses are formulated. These techniques may be the guidelines to the rural people for making low cost earthquake resistant house and also will make a pointer towards engineered building from non-engineered construction.
