China improves the anti-seismic management of construction projects from the legislative level -- building more anti-seismic "comfort houses"

2021-10-14

Every family is concerned about the weak structure and strong earthquake resistance of the house. The regulations on the administration of earthquake resistance of construction projects (hereinafter referred to as the regulations) recently issued by the State Council is the first special regulations in relevant fields in China. It improves the design of relevant systems for the administration of earthquake resistance of construction projects from the legislative level, which is of great significance to improve the seismic fortification level of construction projects and the ability to resist earthquake disasters. "China is a country with frequent earthquakes. More than 58% of the land and 55% of the population are in high-intensity areas with earthquake intensity above 7. In earthquake disasters, a considerable number of casualties are mainly caused by building collapse." Zhang Xiaohong, Vice Minister of the Ministry of housing and urban rural development, introduced that at present, China has basically formed covering feasibility study, preliminary design, construction drawing review The seismic management system of construction projects in the links of completion acceptance and project quality and safety inspection has played an important role in reducing earthquake disaster risk, reducing casualties and property losses, ensuring and improving people's livelihood. "But we also face some problems that need to be solved urgently, such as weak links in some safeguard measures and supervision and management; insufficient seismic fortification measures for old urban construction projects and rural construction projects, insufficient ability to resist earthquake disasters, etc. to solve these problems, we must improve the relevant system design from the legislative level." What are the seismic requirements for new construction, expansion and reconstruction projects in the future? Qu Qi, director of the engineering quality and safety supervision department of the Ministry of housing and urban rural development, said that according to the regulations, new, expanded and reconstructed construction projects should meet the current national mandatory standards for seismic fortification of engineering construction; Units and personnel involved in the survey, design, construction, supervision and testing of construction projects shall be responsible for the earthquake resistance of construction projects according to law; For major construction projects located in areas fortified with high earthquake intensity and key earthquake monitoring and defense areas, a special chapter on seismic fortification shall be compiled; Important buildings of schools, kindergartens, hospitals, elderly care institutions, children's welfare institutions, emergency command centers and other units and institutions should be fortified, mainly based on the protection of vulnerable groups and their role in earthquake relief. In addition, the approval system for seismic fortification of out of gauge high-rise buildings is clearly stipulated. Compared with urban buildings, the housing construction in rural areas often lacks effective supervision, the seismic fortification performance is insufficient, and the loss is the largest in the event of an earthquake. Then, how to systematically solve the problems and shortcomings of seismic fortification of rural construction projects? "We have carefully summarized and combed the experience and practices of seismic fortification of rural construction projects in recent years and made institutionalized improvement," Qu Qi said. The regulations specify that governments at all levels and relevant departments should strengthen the management of seismic fortification of rural construction projects; Necessary policy support should be given to the seismic reinforcement of rural villagers' houses and rural public facilities with insufficient seismic capacity; During the reconstruction of dilapidated houses in rural areas, resettlement and post disaster recovery and reconstruction, it shall be ensured that the construction projects meet the mandatory seismic fortification standards; At the same time, the government should compile and distribute the seismic technology atlas suitable for rural areas, and do a good job in guidance services, technical training, demonstration and promotion. The establishment of an examination and approval system for seismic fortification of transfinite high-rise building projects is one of the key points of the regulations. It is understood that transfinite high-rise building projects often have large volume, complex structural system and concentrated personnel. In the process of design and construction, if they can not ensure their sufficient seismic capacity, once a destructive earthquake occurs, it is bound to cause huge economic losses and casualties. "The regulations stipulate that prior control shall be implemented in the preliminary design stage of the project. The competent departments of housing and urban rural construction at the provincial level shall organize experienced engineering seismic experts to strictly review the design documents of out of gauge high-rise building projects submitted by the construction unit, and approve the seismic fortification measures that are reasonable and feasible," Qu Qi said. In addition, the regulations also stipulates that the construction unit shall not construct the out of gauge high-rise building project without approval; If the design unit fails to design according to the approval opinions, it will be punished according to the circumstances, including fines, suspension of business for rectification, reduction of qualification, revocation of qualification, etc. If losses are caused, they shall also be liable for compensation according to law. "The purpose of these regulations is to effectively ensure the seismic safety of transfinite high-rise building projects." With laws and regulations, we must implement them well. Huang Yi, director of the fourth Legislative Bureau of the Ministry of justice, introduced that the regulations set very strict legal liabilities, such as increasing the punishment of the main bodies related to earthquake resistance of construction projects, especially the punishment of the construction units and relevant responsible persons; Comprehensively apply various punishment measures, order to stop construction, impose fines, order to suspend business for rectification, reduce the qualification level, or revoke the qualification certificate, revoke the practice qualification certificate, and prohibit engaging in relevant business for life; Clearly punish the illegal acts of issuing false reports.
