Comments
China is located in a region of high
seismicity. Many large and destructive events have occurred in China and caused
a large number of fatalities and significant damage. On 12 May 2008, the Sichuan
Earthquake struck, this event was one of the worst natural disaster in recorded
history, and is referred to as the “Great Earthquake” in China. With an
estimated magnitude of 8, it caused a huge damage.
Many victims were school children, as more
than 14,000 classrooms were damaged, half of them collapsed entirely. Almost
400,000 people had to be treated for their injuries.
I've written a report recently during my Earthquake Engineering course this semester, you can download the report which is really good for those who interested in earthquake engineering.
