Abstract

Typhoon can cause great destroy to the buildings of the towns and villages in the coastal areas. It is essential to investigate the damage and wind resistance performance of buildings in coast areas. This paper investigated some common characteristics of the houses destroyed by typhoon, including grey tile roofs, poor integrity, small stiffness, structure aging, weak connection and without longitudinal resistance system. By further analysis, it is found that the destruction of towns and villages houses by typhoon mostly began from the roof, then the breakdown of walls and even the collapse of the overall house. The paper also summarizes the causes and main structural characteristics of the destroyed houses in towns and villages of coastal zones, and points out some problems exposed under the construction of these towns and villages buildings. Finally, some suggestions are proposed in this paper, which are beneficial to wind resistance of the buildings on the aspects of planning construction and construction measures.
