“…For example, the three light-weight wooden public buildings built after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, Dujiangyan Xiang'e Primary School, Mianyang Disabled School and Beichuan Hongfeng Home for the Aged, showed excellent seismic performance when suffering multiple strong aftershocks. Wood structure which is firm, light in weight, and small in volume will absorb little seismic force, and under seismic action, many components and joints of the wood structure can form a variety of load transmission paths (Kamiya et al 2018) to cushion and disperse seismic action. Its favourable elasticity and resilience can effectively reduce earthquake damage.…”
