Comparative Study on the Earthquake-Proofing Performance of Chinese and Japanese Building Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

In recent years, there were frequent earthquakes happening in China. These earthquakes have give rise to a high degree of casualties. However, compared with Japan in which the number of the earthquakes is the highest in the world, China's earthquake-proofing legal standards, requirements on the earthquake-proofing designs and the rate of the earthquake-proofing technologies as well as understanding of the structure of the building are not under the immature state at the present time.
