THE OVERVIEW OF SEISMIC DAMAGE AND THE ANALYSIS OF THE REASONS OF DIFFERENT STRUCTURES IN YINGXIU TOWN -THE HEAVY DISASTER AREAS OF WENCHUAN 8.0 EARTHQUAKE
On 12 May 2008, a magnitude 8.0 earthquake happened in Wenchuan, Sichuan province, China .It was the most serious earthquake in china since 1949, causing very huge casualties and engineering damages to the buildings.The epicenter was in Yingxiu town (N31. 015°,E103. 365°). The structure style of buildings in Yingxiu was abundant. It comprised reinforced concrete structure, masonry structure, bottom frame structure, industrial workshop. The buildings were designed by the different periods of Code for Seismic Design of Buildings. The seismic fortification intensity of the most buildings was seventh degree, the other was eighth degree. As the great seismic intensity of Yingxiu town, the buildings were destroyed most seriously. The engineering damage of the buildings was characteristic. The earthquake provides a lot of valuable information for the seismological investigation.The research of engineering damage is important to the investigation on theory and engineering.
