Earthquake site of Hebei University of Technology

Earthquake site of Hebei University of Technology

The earthquake site of Hebei University of science and Technology (now North China University of science and Technology) is one of the key protected earthquake sites determined by the State Seismological Bureau and approved by the State Council. After 30 years of wind and rain, it still retains the original appearance of the earthquake.

Because the earthquake site is the library of the old Hebei University of technology, the monument in front of the site is designed into two parts: the book and the ancient castle model. From this site, we can see that the library collapsed under the impact of earthquake wave. The west part of the reading hall collapsed from north to south. The original roof collapsed and was tiled on the South Road. The middle part falls vertically, the East gable collapses and the main body remains upright. The first floor of the library was smashed in the strong seismic wave. What people see now is the original two, three and four floors, and the whole building has moved 1 meter to the north by East.
