Students of Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, have designed a brand new rehabilitation shelter that can be constructed quickly in the event of an earthquake or any such disaster. Five third-year students of the Mechanical Engineering and Civil Engineering Departments have built the structure primarily for earthquake-hit people. It can withstand wind, seismic and thermal blows for over four weeks. The shelter was one of the many innovative projects that were on display at IIT Delhi's annual Open House on Saturday. The shelter constructed for a family of four is thermally viable, can withstand wind speeds of 22 metres per second and 20 mm rain per day. It can also endure an earthquake measuring 7 on the Richter scale and remain a comfortable abode even when the outside temperature falls to minus 15 degrees Celsius. The structure, which looks like a hut, was constructed for a contest -- American Society of Mechanical Engineers-Humanitarian Shelter Student Design Competition (ASME-HSSDC)
