Why is the earthquake resistance of residential containers better than that of movable houses?

Why is the earthquake resistance of living containers much better than that of movable plank houses? In the past, we seldom paid attention to this problem and always felt that the earthquake was far away from us. However, a series of recent earthquake disasters, especially the tsunami caused by Japan's earthquake, have caused a devastating blow to Japan, once a disaster occurs, it cannot be redeemed. Therefore, we should pay attention to every safety issue in life and work. As a temporary housing, do we choose Wellcamp to live in containers or movable board houses? We know how to choose by analyzing their shock resistance. Live containers use steel as raw materials, hard channel steel as the main frame of the box, and then weld the rest into a whole. The thickness of the steel generally reaches 5 to 10 centimeters, the pressure can reach 3 tons, so the external force caused by the general earthquake has limited influence on the living container, and the people in the container are relatively safe. Due to the use of steel as raw materials, the products themselves are relatively heavy and will not move their positions easily. According to the simulation test, the earthquake resistance of the living container can theoretically resist the magnitude 5 earthquake. Movable plank house a light steel frame, sandwich panel as enclosure material, with standard coefficient for space, components connected by bolts. The thickness of light steel itself is relatively thin, and the pressure resistance is low. The external pressure of the components connected by bolts is also very limited, and it is light. As long as a certain external force is applied, the movable board house will easily fall apart and collapse, the safety is lower than that of residential containers. According to authoritative technical test data, the earthquake resistance of movable plank houses is only 1/5 of that of residential containers. Through the comparison between residential containers and movable board houses, we know from the principle that the former is much better than the latter in earthquake resistance, so it is suggested to use residential containers as much as possible in construction sites.
