The greatest humanitarian challenge faced even today after one year of Kashmir Hazara
earthquake is that of providing shelter. Currently on the globe one in seven people live in a slum
or refugee camp [1]. The earthquake of October 2005 resulted in a great loss of life and property.
This research work is mainly focused on developing a design of small size, low cost and
earthquake resistant house. Ferrocement panels are recommended as the main structural elements
with lightweight truss roofing system. Earthquake resistance is ensured by analyzing the structure
on ETABS for a seismic activity of zone 4. The behavior of structure is found satisfactory under
the earthquake loading. An estimate of cost is also presented which shows that it is an economical
solution.
