Structural Mitigation:-
• Increase the river dike heights
• Evacuation routes identification
• Retrofitting of vulnerable structures for tsunami resistance
• Engineered structures
• Tsunami water breaks
• Sea walls & coral reefs
Non structural Mitigation:-
• Public Awareness
• Hazard mapping & vulnerability analysis
• Risk identification, zoning & mapping
• Training of all concerned
• Land Use Management
• Tsunami warning system

Difference between engineering and Non engineering products?
Engineered products are products designed to meet a particular design criteria. Non-engineered products are products that were not specifically engineered for a particular design criteria. The structural wood products industry is a good example of engnieered and non-engineered products. Lumber and heavy timbers are good examples of non-engineered materials that are used in construction. Specifically, lumber or timber is a product that is cut from logs. Lumber is not designed, although we test lumber and have design values that apply to many types of lumber. There exists natural variation in lumber so the way we come up with reasonable design values is test a reasonable size sample of lumber, determine the statistical variation of the test results, then assign a conservative material value to allow it to be used structurally. In contrast, plywood, OSB, I-joists, laminated veneered lumber, parallel strand lumber and glulam are engineered wood products. Those products were designed to be used in certain structural applications. The design of the products was thought out, typically combining a mixture of different smaller layers or materials, combined with structural connectors, typically adhesives, or small nails or screws. These products often use the best properties of the individual products to come up with a better mix. These products often have a higher strength to weight ratio when compared with non-engineered products. Other engineered products include rolled steel shapes, bar-joists, metal decking, reinforced concrete, plastics, composites and fibers. I hope this has been helpful.
Difference between load bearing and non-load bearing walls?
Non-load-bearing walls support only themselves; they are interior partition walls. They have a single top plate. While non-load-bearing walls might run perpendicular to floor and ceiling joists, they will not be aligned above support beams. As the name implies, load-bearing walls carry the structural weight of your home. Load-bearing walls in platform-frame homes will have double top plates. That is, two layers of framing lumber. Note: all exterior walls are load bearing; I got this from another site.
What is the weight of 1m3 of reinforced concrete?
many projects have Detail drawings such as structural, electrical, plumbing, roof etc. The detail drawings use for high rise buildings, apartment, etc. in that projects can be calculate weight of reinforcement using structural drawings and preparing bar schedule. some small projects have only architectural drawings . there has no include structural detail drawings, hence we have to calculate weight of reinforcement separately column, slab, beam lintel, plinth beam, cantilever slabs and beams, That are showing below....PER 1 M3...............!!in between 100 - 110 kg/m3 for column,in between 110 - 120 kg/m3 for slab,in between 120 - 130 kg/m3 for beam ........................ !!!Then add these with weight of non reinforced concrete.weight of concrete 2400 kg/m3
Is nylon non-biodegradable?
yes, it is non-biodegradable, like any non-organic plastic
What are mitigation strategies for flood?
there are two types; structural and non structural
What are non-structural mitigation measures for tsunami?
i thik it would be...........
What are the structural and non structural mitigation for earthquake?
non structural mitigation measures :
Structural and non structural mitigation of drought?
The structural and non structural mitigation of drought is the displacement of people. Death of livestock and plants is another structural and non-structural mitigation of drought.
What is non structural mitigation?
displacement of people
What do you understand by mitigation why is it important give three examples of non- structural mitigation?
mitigation efforts help the people by creating safer communites and reducing loss of life and property is called mitigation
What are the mitigation strategies for floods?
Mitigation strategies for floods include the construction of flood control structures such as levees and dams, implementing land-use planning to avoid building in flood-prone areas, improving stormwater management systems, and promoting early warning systems and emergency preparedness. Additionally, restoring natural floodplains and wetlands can help absorb excess water and reduce flood risk.
What are mitigation strategies for cyclones?
The National Cyclone Risk Mitigation Process was launched in India. The main objectives of the project are to minimize risk and vulnerabilities to cyclones, to strengthen the structural and non-structural cyclone mitigation efforts and to build capabilities and capacities of people for cyclone risk mitigation in harmony with the conservation of coastal ecosystems in coastal cyclone hazard prone States and Union Territories.Mitigation means "measures taken in advance that are aimed to decrease or eliminate the impact of disasters on the community and environment". Today, the Policy makers and Disaster Management specialists are rethinking their approach to disaster management by increasing investment in risk reduction & mitigation measures rather than concentrating on post disaster response (relief & reconstruction).The Mitigation Strategies could be✓ Proper infrastructure development for providing accurate and prompt cyclone warning.✓ Design and construction of robust buildings, roads, bridges and other infrastructure besides"Cyclone proof" buildings, which have storage and sleeping areas high off the ground anduse water-resistant materials.✓ Hazard reduction by trying to control the hazard in advance, such as, seawalls, diversiondrains, coastal shelterbelts, protection and promotion of natural sea side vegetation (mangrove)etc.✓ Land use planning, which "builds in" a distance between the hazard and the community.✓ Management of Delta Zones.✓ Contingency Plans at all levels (community, government and civil society), which includedisaster mitigation strategies.✓ Awareness and Educational campaigns that provide advice to the community on cyclonepreparedness as well as mitigations measures✓ Develop healthy partnerships between stakeholders at all levels -especially government,private sector and the community to achieve sustainable mitigation strategies.
What are non-structural mitigation measures for cyclones?
Non-structural mitigation measures are:- a.) Hazard mapping:- a hazard map will illustrate the areas vulnerable to the cyclone in any given year. it is a effective mitigation tool. b.)Land use control designed so that least critical activities are placed in vulnerable areas.Location of settlements in the flood plains is of utmost risk.Vulnerable areas should be kept for parks,grazing or play grounds. c.)Cyclone fore casting and warning :- better forecasting for cyclones ,early and timely warning to the people who are likely to be affected leads to better preparedness and reduced impact to life,property, livelihood and livelihood and infrastructure.
Are strategies and policies as important in a non business enterprise as they are in a business why and how?
importances of strategies and policies in non business enterprise
What does non structural mean?
Non Structural could refer to non supportive members of an object. For example a house has load bearing walls that would be considered structural. It also has dividing walls that are nonstructural , not necessary for support of the whole.
Why would most non-metallic and structural minerals require less processing?
Non-metallic and Structural minerals require less processing because non-metallic and structural minerals aren't as chemically transformed for varied uses (like Limestone made into Pozzolona cement).
