A 3.3-magnitude earthquake occurred in Wuxi, Chongqing, teaching you how to buy earthquake-resistant houses.

According to the China Seismological Network, at 20: 00 18 Beijing time on August 23, 2065438, an earthquake of magnitude 3.3 occurred in Wuxi County, Chongqing (3 1.55 degrees north latitude and 0/09.21degree east longitude) with a focal depth of about 8 kilometers. The epicentre is about 40 kilometers from Wuxi County and 340 kilometers from Chongqing. The average elevation within 30 kilometers of the epicenter is about 1700 meters. Earthquake is a major reason that affects the safety of residential buildings. If you choose an earthquake-resistant house, it will be very different. Next, Jiazhuang.com will teach you how to choose an earthquake-resistant house.

First, the choice of earthquake-resistant houses

When buying an earthquake-resistant house, you should not only choose the location, environment and apartment type. Seismic performance is also an index that needs careful consideration. The building structure of a house determines its different seismic performance. The most common building structures are steel structure, frame structure and brick-concrete structure. Among them, the building with steel structure as the main body has the best seismic performance, followed by reinforced cement concrete and brick structure. This is because steel has light weight, good toughness and strong structural strength. Before buying a house, you can ask the developer to check the "Residential Quality Guarantee" and "Residential Instruction Manual", from which you can see the main building materials of the house.

After understanding the building structure, let's look at the floors and building spacing. The greater the distance between buildings, the greater the effective space for escape in an earthquake, the safer the low-rise building, the less likely it is to shake and collapse in an earthquake, and the easier it is to escape. For some super-high-rise buildings, seismic safety evaluation must be carried out to ensure that the buildings meet the requirements of basic seismic zones. In the seismic design of buildings, the state requires that ordinary civil buildings should resist earthquakes of magnitude 7 and magnitude 6.

Second, pay attention to earthquake resistance in decoration.

In the design of earthquake-resistant houses, many structures are built according to the earthquake-resistant needs of houses. Therefore, special attention should be paid when decorating, and some places must not be changed, otherwise once the overall seismic design of the house is destroyed, it will be extremely dangerous in the event of an earthquake. In recent years, when decorating rooms, it is often neglected to prevent earthquakes, such as breaking the load-bearing wall, which is extremely dangerous and will lead to the weakening of the seismic performance of the whole building and abnormal load stress. If an earthquake of magnitude 8 occurs at this time, the whole building is likely to collapse. In addition, the bearing wall can not be drilled at will, which is not conducive to the earthquake resistance of the house.
