China’s rural and urban construction is very different, rural construction houses generally use the form of masonry, including the main residential and other public buildings. In some of the more economically backward rural areas, housing basically self-built, almostimpossible for formal design and construction quality is uneven. The earthquake capacity of these houses can be imagined, and “small earthquake disaster†is its main feature. In view of the large number of rural housing in the short term, it is impossible to dismantle all of these houses in almost undefended state, and let the residents stay away from such a dangerous room, which will be a relatively long asymptotic process, so the existing housing seismic reinforcement has become an urgent problem to be solved.
