How many levels of earthquakes can Wenzhou’s urban buildings (commercial housing) withstand in an earthquake?

It depends on what material the commercial house is built. If the building is made of steel bars, it will generally not collapse in a magnitude 7-8 earthquake. However, if it is just a common house made of bricks and cement, it will be easily shaken. It will collapse. It is estimated that the earthquake will be about level 6.

Wenzhou belongs to Zhejiang, which has typhoons every year. Considering this factor, the buildings in Zhejiang are generally relatively strong and have solid foundations. If an earthquake occurs, even if the houses are destroyed, it is estimated that only a small number of houses will be destroyed, so don’t worry too much.
