KCI

Some 4.000 earthquakes are recorded in Chinese annals, but the most serious ones have been in the mountainous areas. Some - 40 are recorded within about 500 years in Shanghai but no great danger has been experienced in. any of them. The most active local centrea are in northern Anhui and southem Fukien re- pectively. There is an excellent observatory, at Siccawei saa, small tremors are recorded quite frequently Engineers are in-." terested in buildings which can resist shock and obviously those forms which are tied together at the floors (steel cage and re- inforced concrete) are preferable. Some forms capable of oscillation: will stand well but obviously nothing can resist a really badk shook.
