Two
Tuesdays,
in
exactly
a
span
of
a
month,
have
shaken
two
parts
of
the
Asia
Pacific
geographic
plate.
While
the
first
in
Northwest
India
was
a
mild
tremor,
the
second
one
turned
into
a
big
tragedy,
with
a
6.5
quake
reducing
a
part
of
the
New
Zealand
capital
to
rubble.
While
sharing
the
anguish
and
concern
of
the
quake
victims,
we
are
obviously
reminded
of
what
we
said
on
the
previous
occasion…had
Tufbloc
been
there…! |
|
|
More
than
the
fact
that
New
Zealand
sits
on
the
‘Pacific
Ring
of
Fire
–
an
arc
of
earthquake
and
volcanic
zones
stretching
from
Chile
in
South
America
through
Alaska
and
down
through
the
South
Pacific
with
>14,000
earthquakes
a
year
(though
only
about
150
are
felt
and
<10
do
any
damage)
–
the
structural
reality
that
most
construction
in
the
capital
of
stone
and
brick
made
it
more
vulnerable. |
|
|
While
the
city
itself
had
a
latest
horror
experience
in
September
last
with
extensive
devastation,
India
too
had
its
national
tragedies
at
Latur
and
Ahmedabad
some
years
ago.
Interestingly,
all
these
cases
are
built
in
stone
and
hard
brick,
cause
of
extensive
fatalities
in
the
event
of
calamity.
This
is
exactly
where
newage,
seismic-resistant
building
materials
like
Tufbloc
matter
most. |
|
|
|
Tufbloc’s
strong
yet
lightweight
core
–
the
high
density
fibremesh
reinforced
or
HDFR
–
alongwith
seismic-restraint
accessories
render
ceilings
and
walls
resistant
to
siesmic
tremors.
It
goes
without
saying
that
Nature’s
fury
is
beyond
human
capacity.
However,
humans
can
survive
with
materials
like
Tufbloc. |
