The 5•12 Wenchuan earthquake was in M8.0, Mianyang felt strongly. Majority of the buildings have varied at different degrees of damage, especially in masonry-frame structures, Which reinforcement cost much higher for repairing; The 1200 buildings in Mianyang city or it’s Suburbs were surveyed. The results showed: masonry suffered much heavier damage and masonry-frame of the mixed structure by designing, which damage were significantly lower than without seismic design. Realization of the earthquake will not be collapsed, and after a simple repair it can be used. Buildings that suffered heavy damage which combined with the relevant code requirements and research in the past, adopt specific measures for strengthening the houses.

Introduced after the Wenchuan earthquake, the situation of teaching buildings collapsed, buildings destroyed by the actual picture of the location and characteristics of some typical building damage, building damage arising described several major reasons put forward the views of housing and construction reinforcement, stress the seismic design and the importance of project quality management.
