Comparison Analysis of Typical Buildings in North-South Seismic Belt

Abstract

In North-south earthquake belt, half of more than Ms 8.0 great earthquakes were centralized since the history records were existed in our country. In order to study the typical buildings in this seismic belt, the seismic damages of the typical buildings occurred during 22 earthquakes in North-south earthquake belt, whose earthquake magnitude were more than Ms 6.0, were organized and analyzed. The seismic damage and its matrix of kinds of buildings belonging to the North-south earthquake belt in different intensities were obtained. The statistic results were obtained by comparison and analysis. According to the results of analysis, the seismic capacity of kinds of typical buildings in this region was provided: reinforced concrete frame structure showed fine seismic capability in all previous earthquake whose seismic damage was the slightest in the real statistics results; secondly were those of masonry and mortised timber frame buildings; the seismic damage of buildings, which was combined with timber frame and soil, stone, brick walls was the most serious.
