Provides final report by the contractor, INTERTECT, on a project to design and conduct a program of housing education focused on introducing appropriate technology in earthquake housing repair and reinforcement in Colombia. The project achieved most of its objectives. The INTERTECT team arrived some 5 months after a major earthquake in the city of Popayan. By this time, many repairable houses were already demolished, others had been repaired incorrectly, much of the new construction underway was not earthquake resistant, and technical information on repair and reconstruction was scarce. The team gave two courses in seismic resistant construction technology to 40 Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje (SENA) instructors and developed an instructor's manual for use as a basic text. Similar courses were provided to 50 construction company personnel. In addition, 4 demonstration house repairs were undertaken - two each for adobe and brick houses. Simple, cost-effective methods for repairing and strengthening damaged buildings such as the use of chicken wire mesh were introduced. To facilitate technology transfer, 14 training aids covering a range of issues were developed. The contractor
