Application Summary AI generated
GB/T 17742-2020 defines the Chinese seismic intensity scale, which classifies the intensity of ground shaking during earthquakes based on observed effects on structures, human perception, and environmental changes. It is applied in civil engineering and construction for seismic hazard assessment, building design, and post-earthquake damage evaluation across China. This standard is used by engineers, urban planners, and emergency response teams to ensure infrastructure resilience and guide disaster mitigation efforts.
