Open publisher page 7 citations

Abstract

The macro-epicenter intensity of M8.0 Wenchuan earthquake is XI,it results in a great lot of buildings damage or collapse.The building damage in cities and towns,located in higher intensities areas,is introduced,and the main damage ratios of brick masonry and first-floor-frame-and-up-floor-brick(FFUB) buildings are presented.At the same time,some damage characteristics and earthquake resistant problems are briefly discussed.
