Beijing time 19:02 on November 13, New Zealand South Island occurred 7.8 magnitude earthquake, the focal depth is 10 km, triggering a larger tsunami. New Zealand Prime Minister John Key confirmed that two people were killed at least in the early morning of the earthquake. There is no way to confirm whether there are more casualties, the relevant personnel will further assess the impact of the earthquake.
New Zealand Natural Disaster Warning Administration issued a news that the earthquake occurred after 8 pm local time on the 14th until the occurrence of large and small aftershocks thousands of times, of which more than 5.0 aftershocks 20 several times, the maximum aftershocks to 6.2.
Gao Mengtan who is deputy director of China Earthquake Administration Geophysics Institute, said that the earthquake did not cause heavy casualties. On the one hand, the accidental release zone was far from the densely populated area, but 80% of New Zealand houses were constructed of steel structure. Good housing selection is also an important reason for the damage caused by partial light. He told reporters the latest levy new research group of Qinghua University "2016-11-13 New Zealand 8.0 earthquake ground motion destructive power analysis." Analysis report shows that the intensity of the earthquake is much higher than our 8-degree rare earthquakes, New Zealand can do so little casualties, it is not easy.
In recent years, how about the earthquake situation in the world?
On April 2, 2014, an 8.3-magnitude quake struck in Iquique, Chile, and caused a tsunami that left six people dead. On August 26, a magnitude 6 earthquake struck San Francisco and no deaths were reported. November 22, Japan Nagano north occurred 6.8 earthquake, no deaths reported.
On April 9, 2013, an earthquake of magnitude 6.1 in Bushehr, southern Iran, it killed at least 37 people and injured about 850 others. April 16, Iran and Pakistan at the junction occurred 7.8 earthquake, at least 41 Pakistanis were reported killed.
Obviously, in the case of similar population density, the same level or even higher levels earthquakes caused the number of casualties is much lower than the domestic in these countries, of which high seismic performance of steel structures, timber structure housing a large number of popular applications played a crucial Important role.
Light steel structure building does not collapse
Light steel structure is a completely different from our traditional housing new house, 9 degrees seismic fortification, unless the subsidence, or it will not collapse in the earthquake, it is how to do it?
Its load-bearing structure of light steel keel light weight, metal material properties and its multi-ribbed structure, determines the natural seismic performance of light steel structure, due to the earthquake movement and up and down activities, with fasteners jointed light steel structure improves the overall ductility of the structure, thus avoiding the damage caused by the earthquake. Light steel housing seismic effect is obvious, both in theory and developed countries for many years of experience, they have been shown to see this.
Light steel structure in China
early last century 80s, China's has been the introduction of light steel structure villa, but by the economic conditions and the traditional concept of restrictions, there is no widespread popularity, it limited to public buildings, luxury villas and other projects.
In recent years, with the country strongly advocated the development of steel structure and fabricated building, light steel residential more and more appear in the area of government construction and new rural construction projects. Thus, the superior performance of light steel structure building has gradually spread to slowly be familiar with us.
