CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUE IN HILLY AREAS

  • Unique Paper ID: 170605
  • PageNo: 1035-1039
  • Abstract:
  • Building on the hills is not an easy thing to do because of the difficult terrain, natural hazards, and changes in climatic conditions. Traditional techniques, such as Kath-Khuni, Dhajji-Diwari, and dry-stone masonry, exemplify the efficient utilization of locally available materials as well as designs that are environmentally sustainable and culturally appropriate. These methods are designed to resist natural calamities, such as landslides and earthquakes. On the other hand, the popularity of urban structures and contemporary construction practices has led to the implementation of advanced techniques such as reinforced concrete and prefabricated materials, resulting in increased durability, efficiency, and flexibility to rugged terrains.
