Is this block wall safe even if an earthquake comes?
Block wall around the house.
I usually don't care much, but it is one of the places where safety confirmation is necessary during an earthquake.
Just looking at the picture
You cannot judge "danger" or "fall."
What I want to confirm is, uh,
The height and thickness of the wall.
· Tilt and crack
・ Presence or absence of retaining wall
・ Is the reinforcing bar properly inserted?
State of foundation and deterioration
And so on.
Especially for old block walls, you may not be able to understand the internal condition just by looking at it from the outside.
When looking at housing, it is important to
It's not just about looking at the building.

私も自宅のブロック塀を定期的にチェックしていますが、見た目だけで安心できない部分が多いと感じています。特に築年数の経った塀は、内部の鉄筋の有無や基礎の状態が外見からはわかりにくいため、専門家による住宅診断をおすすめします。 また、控え壁（補強壁）がない場合、高さのある塀は倒壊リスクが高まるため、控え壁の有無もしっかりと確認しましょう。私の場合は、近くの工務店に相談し、必要に応じた補強や塀の補修を行いました。 さらに、地震はいつ起こるかわからないので、家のまわりの門や擁壁も含めて定期的に点検し、危険箇所は早めに対処することが安心につながります。万が一の破損に備えて、倒壊の危険がある塀は速やかに修繕や撤去を検討するのが良いでしょう。 普段はあまり気にしないブロック塀の状態ですが、地震の際の安全性を確保するためには日頃の点検と適切なメンテナンスが不可欠です。あなたのお宅でも、ぜひこの機会にブロック塀の安全確認を行ってみてください。
