Seismic Damage Investigation on Buildings of Qingchuan County in Wenchuan Earthquake

Abstract:

The seismic damage investigation data of 257 buildings in Qingchuan County during Wenchuan earthquake are statistically analyzed. The results indicate that the seismic damages of buildings with seismic design are obviously lower than those of buildings without seismic design, and the damages of the brick-wood structures are most severe, that of the bottom frame structures and masonry structures are second while that of the reinforced concrete frame structures are relatively slight.
