Introduction
The prominent building materials used in building and other constructions are cement, steel, sand, stone, concrete, RCC, bricks, timber, plastic & polymers, etc. Occurrence of natural disasters like earthquakes, cyclones, high tides, fire, etc. have become more frequent than ever before. Design and construction of disaster resistant houses and buildings are expansive and generally unaffordable to the common people/masses. In many cases, their houses and structures are unsafe and cannot withstand such fury of the nature.
