Dehra Dun Cantonment. 



This is a single-story brick and thatch bungalow facing N. 12° W. 

 The verandah is supported on octagonal brick 

 pillars measuring 15 inches by eight feet. All of 

 these are fractured at the base, and one of them has moved three- 

 eighths of an inch to N. 60° W., whilst others show slight movement to 

 W. and N. W. The pillars are in groups of three, the brickwork being 

 continuous at the base and the top. This connection has been broken 

 at the top, chiefly along an E. — W. line. The western wall of the house 

 has fallen, causing the roof on this side to collapse (see pi. 17, fig. 1). 

 Of the numerous cracks within the building, the most pronounced

 Imp. Cadet Corps' adjutant's bungalow, a new building now in course

were cracked at the base, one of them being displaced to the extent 

 of half-an-inch in a direction N. 60° W. In the cadets' quarters the 

 verandah arches at the four corners of buildings are damaged. The 

 injury is due to the fact that the pillars being unsupported at one end 

 were unable to withstand the thrust of the arches. The damage is 

 precisely similar at each corner, as shown in fig. 26.
