anti-seismic lightsteel building - lightsteel building

On August 25th 2005, Hurricane Katrina (Level-5) landed on the southern part of Florida, U.S. at the speed of over 233km/h. Many trees were uprooted and millions of houses were destroyed. However, ten buildings were still standing there among the ruins with only the doors and windows destroyed. After spot field investigation, the experts from the United States Construction Association knew that these buildings were made of a kind of lightsteel structure made in our factory.
Why could these buildings undertake such severe hurricane?
This system is that during the construction, no brick is used.The lightsteel structure is fixed onto the foundation, then the panels are assembled and set onto the structure one by one like building blocks. The steel pillars and girders are covered with the ASA panels, the maintenance frames and wieght bearing structure become an integrated system, which can increase the ability of hurricane resistance and anti-seismic.

China Academy of Archetecture made tests with this kind of building system. The tests are according to international standard, over 60 kinds of seismic waveform are used. Wenchuan Earthquake seismmic waveform is also used for testing. After more than 60 tests were done,the results were very satisfying.

Advantages:
1.Reliable:90 years construction safety guarantee. Anti force 12 typhoon, Earthquake proof, which can meet the requirement for M9 earthquake resistance protection.
2.Low-carbon emission
During the process of material production, construction, and during the whole lifespan of the use of building, this kind of building can reduce the use of fossil energy, increase efficiency and reduce the emission of carbon dioxide.
3. Energy-saving and environment-friendly:
Save energy:It can save energy up to 65-90%
Save water:The use of water is only 10% of conventional building
Save material:90% of the construction material can be reused.
Save land:The usable floor area can increase about 10% compared to the conventional buildings.
Protect the environment:This is a recycled, non-pollution construction system.
Factory production:Reduce the use of fossil energy. Its parts are made in the factory and has high accuracy. It is easy to assemble the parts on the construction site.
Save time:It takes only 45 days to finish a 200 square meter building. It takes only 3 months to finish a 10,000 square meter building. It can save up to 60% labor hour.
4. Healthy and comfortable
This kind of building is heat insulation,well ventilated and moistureproof. It can offer more than 100 m3 of fresh air per hour which ensures a high comfort level of living.
