Investigation of Building Seismic Damage Characteristics and Causative Analysis of the 2026 Liuzhou ML5.2 Earthquake Doublet
-
摘要: 2026年5月18日广西柳州市柳南区相隔21小时接连发生2次5.2级逆冲型地震。虽然震级不大,但造成了16栋房屋完全倒塌、970栋房屋严重受损,震中烈度达Ⅶ度。基于现场震害调查,结合震中区地质条件,特别是喀斯特岩溶影响,分析了房屋震害特征及其成因。结果表明:地震震源浅、双主震及地下溶洞的地震动放大效应,是本次“小震级、高烈度”致灾模式的直接诱因;同时,震中区多为抗震性能差的自建砌体房屋,普遍存在高宽比过大、缺乏圈梁和构造柱等构造措施、基础薄弱、整体约束不足等系统性缺陷,在地震作用下,易产生沿灰缝的水平滑移裂缝,进而导致失稳倒塌;另外,地震诱发的岩溶塌陷及地基沉降,进一步加剧了房屋开裂和倒塌。Abstract: On May 18, 2026, two ML5.2 thrust-faulting earthquakes struck Liunan District, Liuzhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, within a 21-hour interval. Despite their moderate magnitudes, the earthquakes caused the complete collapse of 16 buildings, severe damage to 970 buildings, and a maximum epicentral intensity of VII, exemplifying a typical “small magnitude, high intensity” disaster scenario. Based on detailed field damage surveys, combined with the local geological conditions—particularly the influence of karst topography—this study analyzes the characteristics and underlying causes of building damage. The results indicate that the shallow focal depth, the double-mainshock sequence, and the seismic amplification effects induced by underground karst cavities were the direct triggers of this high-intensity pattern. Moreover, most of the affected buildings were non-engineered self-built masonry houses with poor seismic performance, exhibiting systemic structural deficiencies such as excessive height-to-width ratios, lack of reinforced concrete tie beams and confined columns, weak foundations, and inadequate overall integrity. Under seismic loading, these vulnerabilities promoted horizontal sliding cracks along mortar joints, ultimately leading to instability and collapse. In addition, karst collapse and ground subsidence triggered by the earthquakes further aggravated cracking and failure of the buildings. The findings provide valuable references for seismic design and retrofitting of rural non-engineered masonry buildings in low-seismicity regions, as well as for geological hazard prevention and mitigation in karst areas.
