Research on the Feasibility of Modular Residence Based on Post-earthquake Reconstruction

Abstract

In recent years, earthquake disasters have occurred frequently. People not only lose their property, and their houses are also seriously damaged. Some natural disasters are foreseeable and can be prevented in advance, while earthquakes are basically unpredictable and have high breaking strength, so the post-earthquake reconstruction becomes the priority among priorities. China has made great achievements in post-earthquake reconstruction, but due to its particularity, there will inevitably be some problems. For example, the large-scale standardized design and construction used in post-disaster reconstruction is difficult to meet the individual needs of residents. Such problems need to be solved by people’s efforts. This graduation project aims at the feasibility of modular residence after the earthquake, based on the analysis of cases of modular residences at home and abroad, it studies the design of modular residences, the impact of the earthquake on housing reconstruction, the basic needs of the people affected by the earthquake, and how to conduct modular residence design by meeting the special characteristics of post-earthquake residences. This project hopes that modular residences can be widely used in postdisaster reconstruction through the feasibility research on the post-earthquake modular residences.
