Study on the Suitability of Seismic Isolation Technologies for Rural Buildings

Abstract

Rural buildings are subject to the most serious damage and the highest collapse ratio in earthquake disaster. It is urgent at present to develop seismic isolation technologies applicable to rural buildings under current rural economic conditions of China. Through comparing the existing domestic seismic isolation technologies in respects of the acquisition difficulty level, price and friction coefficient of material and the placement of sliding material, and analyzing the result of simulated shaking table test respectively with the gravel foundation isolation technology and the gravel sliding isolation technology, this paper points out matters needing attention during the development of seismic isolation technologies for rural buildings.
