Abstract:

In Chinese rural areas, flooding is one of the most common and frequent natural disasters, which can cause terribly life and property losses partly due to heavily damage and collapse of rural buildings. Therefore, it is very urgent to conduct comprehensive study on failure mechanism of rural buildings under flood actions. In this paper, the failure mechanism of rural buildings in flood is studied, and protection strategies are summarized with emphasis on describing some new technology proposed by authors. The contents presented in this paper may be useful references for further study on flood damage to rural buildings and be helpful for Chinese government to develop correct flood mitigation policies.
