Why one house stood firm against Nepal's flash floods
A single green home in Nepal managed to withstand devastating flash floods that leveled all the surrounding buildings.

This design features continuous steel reinforcement linking the foundation, beams, and columns. As the floodwaters struck, the structure successfully absorbed the sideways pressure and channeled the force directly into the ground.
