Abstract:Under earthquake, the layer of soft soil is prone to cause permanent horizontal deformation and uneven subsidence, which is one of the main factors causing the earthquake disaster. Especially under teleseismic, the damage intensity of the layer of soft soil area is higher than that of other hard rock areas, and the medium high buildings and structures on the layer of soft soil are more vulnerable to suffer the damage. Through reviewing and analyzing the characteristics of seismic response and the influences of earthquake disaster in Shantou under the M7.3 earthquake on September 16th, 1994 in Taiwan Strait, the paper points out that the seismic design of the layer of soft soil region should be strengthened to improve the capacity of earthquake resistance and disaster prevention.
