Seismic Damage Characteristics of Rural Adobe-Wood Building in Gansu Province Induced by the Wenchuan Great Earthquake
Abstract The Wenchuan great earthquake, which measured at Ms8.0 and Mw7.9, occurred on May 12, 2008 in Sichuan Province of China, caused enormous death toll and economic loss. The buildings, lifeline engineering and infrastructures were damaged badly, and secondary disasters were serious and wide, and the rural adobe-wood buildings in rural regions were damaged severely. In order to investigate the damage characteristics and mechanism of buildings induced by the earthquake, and to service reconstruction, the disaster investigations and simulation were practiced. The results shows that the reasons of fragilities in the earthquake of abode-wood building are insufficient component capacity, weakness in joint and connection, instabilities of structural framework, etc. Those results will be useful for serving the reconstruction after the earthquake.
