|
▫ |
Their behaviour during earthquake
loading is better than rigid walls. |
|
▫ |
The requirement in terms of
construction time and space are less in relation to concrete walls. |
|
▫ |
Hence they are more cost effective in
comparison to other options. |
|
▫ |
Possibility of using a wide variety of
fill material. |
|
▫ |
