In areas with frequent seismic activities, reducing the secondary damage caused by collapsing non-structural walls during an earthquake is a key priority for building safety, and EPS Cement Sandwich Panel plays a vital role in enhancing the overall seismic performance of buildings. Since the panel is far lighter than traditional brick walls, it will not generate huge inertial impact force on the main structure when an earthquake occurs, greatly lowering the risk of wall collapse that causes injuries to people inside the building. The flexible connection method between the panel and the main steel structure or concrete frame allows it to absorb part of the seismic energy through slight deformation without breaking apart, maintaining the integrity of the wall even under medium-intensity earthquakes. Many reconstruction projects in seismic-prone regions have chosen this material for new residential and public buildings, as it not only meets the local high seismic design standards but also reduces the overall construction cost by lowering the structural load requirements. Unlike heavy masonry walls that are prone to cracking and collapsing under seismic force, the lightweight and high-toughness characteristics of EPS Cement Sandwich Panel ensure that the building’s interior space remains relatively intact after an earthquake, buying more time for people to evacuate safely and reducing post-disaster repair work to a large extent.
