Progress and Suggestion for the Seismic Safety Project of Chinese Rural Buildings

Abstract eng:
Due to implementing the city-countryside dualization management for a long time in China, rural construction is in a state of unsupervised, low seismic ability and high-risk once suffered from strong motion earthquake. To this end, the Chinese State Council decided to launch the rural dwellings’ earthquake safety project from 2006, and Xinjiang, Gansu, Shandong and other provinces are the first to implement the project in the form of demonstration pilot. After nearly a decade of development, some provinces have taken various effective policies and measures to actively implement the project. These have created a lot of the typical successful cases and experience, which provided an important experience for comprehensively promoting the project. Earthquake safety demonstration rural dwellings constructed by some provinces perform well when suffered from destructive earthquake even from severe and great earthquake. These safety dwellings can protect the people’s life and property safety, and good disaster mitigation and social benefits were achieved. However, some problems and difficulties are exposed during a larger progress is obtained in the rural dwellings project. This paper, at first analyzes the present situation of Chinese rural dwellings’ earthquake safety project, and then discoursed experience from the implementation of the project for various regions. Secondly, the problems and difficulties in implementation process are summarized. Finally some suggestions on the current situation of rural dwellings’ earthquake safety in China are put forward.
