The Effect of Japan climate to building material

Japan is situated Subtropics and Temperate climate zone. Except to the Ryukyu Islands in the south, the climate there is snowing in the winter and high temperature in the summer. For example: in summer, the temperature will be higher than 30 degree in Tokyo, but it will be under 0 degree in winter, it will reach to even -13 degree in Sappo, Hokkaido. The huge climate change between summer and winter makes building expanding with heat and contracting with cold, this is a great challenge to the material of house exterior wall. Not to mention the effect of heavy rain scouring in the summer and the frozen snowing in the winter.

The effect of Japan located in Ring of Fire to building material

Both Japan and Taiwan located in the Circum-Pacific Seismic Belt and face to the threat of earthquake. Although small earthquake will not cause disaster, the small crack will appear on the building surface. The building musts have seismic-resistant and earthquake-resistant capacity to prevent damage, and has to avoid the problem of building article fallen down.
