Earthquake is a natural event which has no fixed date and time. But whenever it occurs it destroys the human shelter and life. Due to various manmade disturbances to the nature, earthquake has become more often event. Due to highly dense built environment and violation of building by-laws in modern building the damage caused by Earthquake is more severe. India is divided in to Zone wise classification based on the severity of the earthquake. Zone –I to Zone – V being from less impact to high Impact. The aim of this research is to study in India about Resilient Housing construction techniques and Sustainable building material in earthquake prone zone. India consists of five seismic zones. And if we have to go by the facts, many Indian megacities are on threat of earthquake. The psychological trauma of the earthquake survivor is beyond our thinking as the loose everything from home to family. In this situation they need a home and support to gain back their moral to fight with the situation and overcome. The resilient construction technique with sustainable material may become a solution for quick fight back to the situation. The Bamboo is a renewable resource and requires very less energy for construction. It does not require specialized tools for building construction and available at very less price compare to Conventional masonry structure, which makes it as cost effective material. Many research has been carried out to establish the mechanical strength of bamboo. Which proves that the bamboo is safe for building construction. The threats of durability also has been removed by using proper treatment. The Assam-type houses are best suitable example of bamboo houses. These houses demonstrate The simple geometry, low rise, grass infill, flat land are the ways to create cost effective earthquake resistant building.
