Tangyin Prefabricated Cement House
Tangyin County has a certain foundation in relation to prefabricated cement houses, but it has not been explicitly mentioned that the new model of building houses with prefabricated cement houses has been adopted on a large scale. However, there is a case of using special cement for seismic retrofitting of rural residences.
Foundation Related to Prefabricated Cement Houses
Baoxi Cement Prefabricated Parts Sales Department in Caiyuan Town, Tangyin County, once engaged in the retail of cement prefabricated parts. This indicates that Tangyin County has had commercial activities related to prefabricated cement products in the field of housing construction, providing a certain market and industrial foundation for the construction of prefabricated cement houses. Although the sales department is currently deregistered, its past operation shows that there was a certain demand and awareness for cement prefabricated parts in the local area.
Characteristics of the New Model of Building Houses with Prefabricated Cement Houses
As a new model of house building, prefabricated cement houses have many advantages. They are poured with high-strength concrete and formed as a single piece without joints, which gives the houses excellent seismic, wind-resistant, moisture-proof, and corrosion-resistant properties. With a service life of several decades, they can provide a long-term and stable living environment for occupants. They are produced in a standardized manner and assembled in a modular way, and the main structure can be completed in as fast as 7 days, greatly shortening the house-building cycle. Moreover, with reserved interfaces for water and electricity, subsequent decoration can be easily connected, allowing occupants to carry out personalized decoration according to their own needs. In addition, the size and house type can be customized on demand, meeting various needs such as rural self-built houses, elderly care houses, and B&B inns. The direct supply from the factory reduces intermediate links, and the cost is reduced by 30% compared with traditional house building, offering relatively high cost-effectiveness.
Application of Special Cement for Seismic Retrofitting of Rural Residences in Tangyin County
In terms of seismic retrofitting of rural residences in Tangyin County, a method of "patching" the interior walls is adopted, using high-ductility cement for the seismic retrofitting of houses. This type of cement is more viscous and finer, and is mixed and stirred from cement, special fibers, and water in a certain proportion. Although it is only 1.5 centimeters thick, it can ensure that the house can withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8, effectively improving the seismic capacity of local rural residences and safeguarding the lives and property of residents. However, it is currently not clear whether Tangyin County has adopted the new model of building houses with prefabricated cement houses on a large scale.
