Hybrid construction of decorative wall panels

Mixed structure houses with brick or block for walls and reinforced concrete or prestressed concrete for floors. Because of its simple construction and low cost, it is the most widely used structural form; however, the self-weight is large and the seismic performance of the wall is poor. Concrete structural columns, also known as seismic columns. The structural column is connected with the ring beam of the building and roof to improve the integrity, strength and deformation capacity of the building. When the wall is built with hollow blocks, steel bars can be inserted into the holes of the blocks that penetrate through the upper and lower sides, and concrete is poured into the holes to form reinforced concrete columns to increase the earthquake resistance of the house.
