Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

Based on the structural earthquake damage investigation after the M7.1 Yushu earthquake in Qinghai province,the damage ratios of different types of structures in Jigu town are presented.Then,considering some typical damage cases,reasons for the earthquake damage of the investigated rural buildings are analyzed from the viewpoints of conceptual design and earthquake-resistant constructional measure.Also,the problems lying behind the seismic design of the rural buildings are brought up.Finally,on the basis of the characteristics of earthquake damage to the rural buildings,corresponding earthquake resistant countermeasures in the aspects of technique and management are proposed to reduce the casualties and economic loss in earthquakes.
