Growing Use of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete for Seismic Safety
India is increasingly using fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) for earthquake-resistant buildings, driven by its greater strength and flexibility. FRC demand is rising, with builders looking for materials that can endure high stress and minimize structural cracks during earthquakes. In addition, polypropylene and steel fibers are being used in concrete to enhance energy absorption to ensure no collapse. These products assist in distributing pressure equally, making the sudden collapse of the structure less likely. Similarly, FRC also improves ductility, an important characteristic for structures in seismic areas. The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee has been testing advanced FRC mixes to enhance seismic resistance in high-rise structures. Research has shown that high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (HPFRC) can improve a building's ability to sustain repeated seismic shocks without major damage. Moreover, government housing projects in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh are using fiber-reinforced slabs to minimize earthquake damage in residential and commercial buildings. Along with this, FRC is expected to become a standard in seismic-resistant construction across the country with ongoing research and wider adoption, further propelling the market growth.
Rising Adoption of Base Isolation Technology in High-Risk Zones
Base isolation technology is gaining traction in India’s earthquake-prone regions, helping structures absorb seismic shocks more effectively. This approach uses rubber bearings and lead dampers to reduce the impact of ground movement on buildings. The trend is driven by urban expansion in areas vulnerable to earthquakes, such as Delhi, Gujarat, and the Northeastern states. Base isolation technology significantly reduces structural vibrations, ensuring that buildings remain functional even after strong earthquakes. Moreover, metro stations in Kolkata and Ahmedabad have implemented base isolation to enhance structural resilience, ensuring uninterrupted operations during seismic activity. These implementations indicate a growing preference for passive seismic protection methods, particularly in high-rise and public infrastructure projects. Additionally, in Mumbai’s commercial sector, developers have started integrating base isolators into skyscrapers to ensure long-term safety. The growing awareness of seismic risks, coupled with government incentives for disaster-resistant infrastructure, is encouraging the adoption of this technology. As engineering solutions evolve, base isolation is expected to become a fundamental feature in India’s earthquake-resistant construction sector, ensuring greater safety and durability for future structures.
