the construction agency, which will in turn forward the testing report of the competent authority.
 
(5) STRUCTURAL STABILITY AND FIRE SAFETY OF EXISTING BUILDINGS
i.       The Competent Authority shall have teh assessment of structural and/or fire safety of an existing
building/structure damaged/undamaged carried out at stipulated periodical intervals through expert(s)
chosen from a panel of experts identified by teh Competent Authority.
ii.      The owner/developer/occupant on advise of such expert(s) shall carry out such repair/restroration and
strengthening/retrofitting of the building found necessary so as to comply with the safety standards laid
down in the National Building Code and the Indian Standards as specified.
In case, the owner / developer / occupant does not carryout such action, the competent authority or any
aganecy authorised by the competent authority may carryout such action at the cost of
owner/developer/occupant.
iii.     The Competent Authority shall specify the period within which such compliance is to be carried out.
iv.     The Competent Authority may also direct the owner / developer / occupants, wheter the building could
be occupied or not during the period of compliance.
v.      In case of existing/building under construction based on approved building permission, structural
safety requirements shall have to be observed. However, due to such structural work of
strengthening/retrofitting if certain setbacks and margin get reduced, special permission shall be granted on
case to case basis.

Appendix – A
LAND USE ZONING IN HAZARD PRONE AREAS – GUIDELINES
1   OBJECTIVES
1.1     The basis objective of land use zoning is to regulate land use in hazard prone areas to minimise the
damage caused to the habitat, as a result of natural hazards viz. earthquakes, cyclonic storms and floods
which recur from time to time. Land Use Zoning, therefore, aims at determining the location and the extent
of areas likely to be adversely affected by the hazards of different intensities and frequencies, and to
develop such areas in a fashion that the loss to the development is reduced to the minimum.
1.2     Land Use Zoning envisages certain restrictions on the indiscriminate development of the
“unprotected” hazard prone areas and to specify conditions for safer development by protecting the area
from severe losses. In the former case, boundaries of different zones are to be established to prevent
unrestricted growth there.
2.    SCOPE
2.1    Areas covered under Development Plan
The guidelines for Land Use Zoning in Hazard Prone Areas are to be taken into consideration while
formulating the Development Plan and Area Plan under the Town Planning and Urban Development Act.
2.2    Areas not covered under Development Plan
In such areas, these guidelines may be issued to the various local bodies, Municipalities, Individual Areas
and Panchayats, enabling them to act while sitting various development projects and deciding on
construction of buildings, etc.
3.    IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARD PRONE AREAS
3.1 Earthquake Prone Areas
a.       Intensities of VII or more on Modified Mercalli or MSK intensity scale are considered moderate to
high. Areas under seismic zone III, IV and V as specified in IS 1893 are based on intensities VII, VIII, IX or
more. Therefore, all areas in these three zones will be considered prone to earthquake hazards.
b.       In these zones the areas which have soil conditions including the level of water table favourable to
liquefaction or settlements under earthquake vibrations will have greater risk to buildings and structures
which will be of special consideration under Land Use Zoning.
c.       Under these zones, those hilly areas which are identified to have poor stability conditions and where
landslides could be triggered by earthquake or where due to prior saturated conditions, mud flow could be
initiated by earthquake
d.       Whereas, earthquake hazard prone areas defined in ‘a’ above are identified on the map given in IS
1893 to small scale and more easily identified in the larger scale state wise maps given in the Vulnerability
Atlas of India, the special risky areas as defined in ‘b’ and ‘c’ above, have to be deternmined specifically for
the planning area under consideration through special studies to be carried out by geologists and geo-
technical engineers.
3.2 Cyclone Prone Areas
a.       Areas prone to cyclone storms are along the sea coast of India where the cyclonic wind velocities of
47 meter per second or more are specified in the Wind Velocity Map given in IS 875 (part 3) to a small scale
and easily identified in the Vulnerability Atlas of India where the Maps are drawn state wise to a larger scale.
b.       In these cylcone prone areas, those areas which are likely to be subjected to heavy rain induced
floods or to flooding by sea-water under the conditions of storm surge, are specially risky due to damage by
flood flow and inundation under water.
c.       Whereas, areas under ‘a’ are easily identified, those with special risk as under ‘b’ have to be identified
by special contour survey of the planning area under consideration and study of the past flooding and storm
surge history of the area. These studies may have to be carried out through the Survey of India or locally
appointed survey teams, and by reference to the Central Water Commission, Government of India and the
concerned department of Gujarat State.
3.3 Flood Prone Areas
a.        The flood prone areas in river plains (unprotected and protected by bunds) are indicated in the Flood
Atlas of India prepared by the Central Water Commission and reproduced on larger scale in teh state wise
maps in the Vulnerability Atlas of India.
b.       Besides the above areas, other areas can be flooded under conditions of heavy intensity rains,
inundation in depressions, backflow in drains, inadequate drainage, failure of protection works, etc.
c.        Whereas, the flood prone areas under ‘a’ are identified on the available maps as indicated, the areas
under ‘b’ have to be identified through local contour survey and study of the flood history of the planning
area.
Such studies may be carried out through Survey of India or local survey teams, and by reference to the
Central Water Commission and the concerned department of Gujarat State.
3.1.   Land Use Zoning for Flood Safety
Some important considerations for regulating the land use in the planning areas are given below :
i.         Every settlement needs some open areas such as parks, play-grounds gardens etc. In one way it will
be possible to develop such areas by restricting any building activity in vulnerable areas. Such a
development will be in the interest of providing proper environment for the growth of such settlement.
ii.        On the same analogy, certain areas on either side of the existing and proposed drains (including
rural drains) should be declared as green belts where no building or other activity should be allowed. This
will not only facilitate improvements of these drains in future for taking discharge on account of growing
urbanisation, but will also help in minimising the damage due to drainage congestion wherever rainfall of
higher frequency than designed is experienced . These green belts at suitable locations can also be
developed as parks and gardens.
iii.      In the existing developed areas, possibilities of protecting/relocation/ exchanging the sites of vital
installation like electricity sub-station/power houses, telephone exchange etc. should be seriously examined,
so that these are always safe from possible flood damage. Similarly, the pump station the tube wells meant
for drinking water supply should be raised above the high flood levels.
iv.      Similarly, possibility of removing or bypassing buildings/structures obstructing existing natural
drainage lines should be seriously considered. In any case, with immediate effect unplanned growth can be
restricted so that no construction obstructing natural drainage or resulting in increased flood hazard is
allowed.
APPROACH FOR LAND USE ZONING
Following two alternatives can be adopted for dealing with the disaster risk problems.
a.       Leaving the area unprotected. In this case it will be necessary to specify Land Use Zoning for various
development purposes as recommended under Para 6.
b.       Using protection methods for the areas as a whole or in the construction of buildings, structures and
infrastructure facilities to cater for the hazard intensities likely in the planning area as recommended under
Appendix-B.
it will be appropriate to prioritise buildings, structures and infrastructures in terms of their importance from
the point of view of impact of damage on the socio-economic structure of the society. Prioritisation scheme
is suggested under Para 5.
5.    PRIORITISATION
In regard to Land Use Zoning, different types of buildings and utility services may be grouped under three
priorities as indicated below.
Priority 1.           Defence installation, industries, public utilities like hospitals, electricity installations, water
supply, telephone exhange, aerodrums, railway stations, commercial centres, libraries, other buildings or
installations with contents of high economic value.
Priority 2.          Public institutions, Government offices, universities and residential areas.
Priority 3.      Parks, play grounds, wood lands, gardens.
6.    REGULATION FOR LAND USE ZONING
i.         Installations and Buildings of Priorityl should be located in such a fashion that the area is above the
level corresponding to a 100 year flood or the maximum observed flood levels whichever higher. Similarly
they should also be above the levels corresponding to a 50 year rainfall flooding and the likely submersion
due to drainage congestion.
ii.       Buildings of Priority 2 should be located outside the 25 year flood or a 10 year rainfall contour,
provided that the buildings if constructed between the 10 and 25 year contours should have either high
plinth level above 25 year flood mark or constructed on columns or stilts, with ground area left for the
unimportant uses.
iii.      Activities of Priority 3 viz. play grounds, gardens and parks etc. can be located in areas vulnerable to
frequent floods.
Appendix – B
 
PROTECTION OF BUILDINGS STRUCTURES AND INFRASTRUCTURES IN HAZARD PRONE AREAS
A.    PROTECTION OF AREAS FROM EARTHQUAKES
 i.         In those areas where there are no dangers of soil liquefaction or settlements of landslides, all
building structures and infrastructures should be designed using the relevant Indian Standards as provided
in the Building Regulations and the National Building Code
 ii.        Soils subjected to liquefaction potential under earthquake shaking, can be improved by compaction
to desired relative densities, so as to prevent the possibility of liquefaction.
 iii.       Buildings and structures could be founded on deep bearing piles going to non- liquefiable dense
layers.
 iv.       Steep slopes can be made more stable by terracing and construction of retaining walls and breast
walls, and by ensuring good drainage of water so that the saturation of the hill-slope is avoided.
 v.        Any other appropriate engineering intervention to save the building structures or infrastructure from
the fury of the earthquake.
 
Note: The protective action given under (ii) to (v) will usually involve large amount of costs and should only
be considered in the case of large and costly structures. For ordinary buildings the cost of improvement of
the site will usually be uneconomical, hence bad sites should be excluded by Land Use Zoning.
B.    PROTECTION FROM CYCLONIC WIND DAMAGE
 i.         Buildings, structures and infrastructures in the cyclone prone areas should be designed according to
the Indian Standards and Guidelines as provided in the Regulations and the National Building Code.
 ii.        Light utility structures used for electrical transmission and distribution, and towers for
communications, chimney stacks of industrial structures require special design considerations against teh
cyclonic wind pressures, suctions and uplifts.
 iii.      In case the buildings, structures and infrastructures are founded on marine clay deposits it will be
advisable to adopt either under-reamed piled foundations, or individual column footing with a reinforced
concrete beam located at the level of the ground, or a continuous reinforced concrete strip footing.
iv.      Wherever, the top soil could become slushy due to flooding, the top layer of 30 cm depth of soil
should not be considered for providing lateral stability
 v.       In storm surge prone areas, it will be preferable to construct the community structures, like schools,
cyclone shelters, etc. by raising the level of the ground protected by provision of retaining walls at sufficient
distance away from the building, taken to such depth that no erosion takes place due to receding storm
surge. Alternatively, construct the community structures on stilts with no masonry or bracing up to the
probable maximum surge level.
 
PROTECTION OF AREAS FROM FLOODS
This may require one or more of the following actions.
 i.         Construction of embankments against the water spills from the source of flooding like rivers, large
drain etc.
ii.        Construction of high enough embankments/bund around the planning area.
iii.       Raising the planning area above the high flood level.
iv.      Construction/improvement of drainage paths to effectively drain the water from the planning area.
v.        Construction of buildings and structures on deep foundations going below the depth of scour or on
stilts with deep enough foundations under water.
vi.      Flood proofing works such a» the following :
Providing Quick Drainage facility, consisting of
•        Revitalisation of secondary and primary drainage channels after establishing the drainage blockage
points;
•         Provision of additional waterways;
•         Clearing of clogged cross drainage works;
Providing Human and Animal Shelters for population living within embankments in the form of raised
platform or use of available high ground.
vii.     Anti-erosion actions in affected areas.
viii.    Any other suitable measure.
Note:
1. Similar protection methods could be used against flooding caused in cyclone prone areas by high intesity
rains or by the storm surge.
2. The concept of land zoning should be kept in mind for areas where protection works are taken up to
decide inter-se priority for location of structures considering possibility of failure of protection works during
extreme disaster events.
