USGS Multimedia Gallery: Traditional Construction in Burma

Title: Traditional Construction in Burma

Description:

Traditional construction throughout Burma utilizes bamboo and other lightweight building materials, resulting in structures that are not generally durable but are quite earthquake-safe. As traditional structures such as this house give way to more modern masonry buildings, seismic risk will increase.
