Morocco recently experienced a powerful earthquake that caused massive damage and casualties. According to the latest news, the number of people killed in the earthquake has risen to 2,946.
Earthquakes are devastating natural disasters whose impact on people and buildings cannot be ignored.
However, in this earthquake, we also saw that 90-95% of casualties were caused by collapsed buildings. Buildings that are structurally unstable or designed to not meet seismic standards increase the risk of casualties. Therefore, the seismic resistance of buildings and the rational architectural design are very important to reduce injuries and deaths caused by earthquake disasters.
Which earthquake-resistant house is stronger
When an earthquake occurs, traditional buildings are often unable to withstand the enormous forces caused by earthquakes due to uneven materials, structural fragility and limitations in construction processes. However, the structural advantages of the steel modular building make it effective against earthquakes.
Why do steel structure buildings have better seismic performance?
The weight of the steel structure is lighter, and when the earthquake comes, the reaction force of the light weight will be smaller.
The main components of the steel structure, such as beams and columns, are all factory prefabricated, and factory prefabrication has better quality control and is not prone to structural defects.
The main form of steel used in the steel structure has good ductility, and when the earthquake comes, the ductility can better absorb the energy of the earthquake, and then it is not easy to collapse suddenly, giving personnel more time to escape.
Huaju Intelligent Building adheres to the research and development and promotion of steel structure modular buildings, adopts modular components, forms an overall powerful structural system through accurate prefabrication and high-quality construction, and improves the overall stability and strength of the building.
Huaju intelligent steel structure modular building also pays great attention to seismic safety in the design and construction process.
Designers and engineers take seismic loads into account and use appropriate seismic design parameters and advanced engineering techniques to ensure the seismic resilience of buildings. During the construction process, through precise prefabricated modules and special construction processes, accurate assembly of each component and high-quality construction are guaranteed, thereby enhancing the overall seismic performance of the building.
The rise in the number of deaths in the Moroccan earthquake is yet another reminder of the safety of our buildings. As an advanced construction method, steel modular building has excellent seismic performance, which brings us new hopes and choices.
Huaju Intelligent Building will continue to strive for innovation, compact the "cornerstone" of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction, and build a strong life safety defense line with quality!
