Recently

frequent torrential floods cause tremendous casualties and economic losses to the national people in China.In this paper

three 1:6 scale rural building models are tested to research the impact of flood in order to gain the basic data for the flood-resistant design of rural buildings.The impact experiment of flood on buildings is carried out in the large wave-current tank.The height of water is 0.6 meter and the distances between the building and flood gate are 3

6 and 9 meters respectively.The impact loading is obtained by the sensor transducer.Based on the experimental results

the effects of different distances and different ratios of holes on the impact loading of flood are investigated.Results show that the variation of impact loading distributions in the horizontal direction is not obvious but decreases gradually with the vertical distance from bottom to top in the vertical direction.The impact loading increases with the distance whereas is independent of the ratio of holes.The bending moment and impact force increase with the distance

but decrease with the ratio of holes.
