Well I see your point there! But, let me point out 2 things: 1. Ytong "Stones" come in a variety of densities - lower weight, more pores, easier to cut, less load, but more insulation, or higher density, more load bearing, less pores, heavier, more resistant to forces, but also at worse thermal insulation values - mostly used for building bigger multiplex apartments, where higher load bearing ability is required. - chose those, for a "tougher" wall. 2. it is possible, to have 36,5cm Ytong Walls, as metioned above with a higher density, then 8-10cm of insulation material and in front of it all, some 11 - 14cm of solid brick walls, those will not be cut into easily, nor sawed by hand or a burglar at night ;-) 3. Combine that with windows at least RC3 or RC4 and with the window glass being P6B - P8B multi-layered security glass reinforced with layers of almost unbreakable polycarbonate! - this should give you a very good thermal insulation, less heat radiation is lost via windows, plus almost see-through-brick walls in strength ;-) It is only a matter of costs and maybe will - but with such walls and windows, a burglar can not enter within 10-15min of time. combine that with some good alarm system connected to the nearest police station and some Heckler&Koch "Toys" in the safe should give you some easy sleep at night!
can always reinforce with a steel mesh/rods like many other concrete structures if you are that paranoid lol. Also why go through a wall when you can just pop a window with a rock? rofl Why the hell would you even bring a hammers/drills and spend all that time? I mean your question is so hypothetical and unpractical that makes you wonder the person who is saying this is not right in the head.
i'm not so convinced that those thin concrete pillars are enough for a 7.2 richter earthquake ... and i can't find specific documentation for that. any help ? thx
@@MegaBobtube In European countries there are strict regulations regarding the construction of individual houses. The house plan must be approved by a structural engineer, otherwise the local town hall (the Mayor) will not approve the construction of the house. Obviously, there are still people who build on their own and do not respect the law (to reduce construction costs) where the mayor's office cannot check them. But they do so at their own risk The plans differ greatly from the area where the house is built. In countries such as Germany and England, where seismicity is low, a house does not require additional reinforcement that raises the cost of construction. In countries such as Italy, Greece, Romania or Turkey, houses are built on concrete frames (80% of cases) and masonry is not considered load-bearing ... that is, it does not support the house, it is a filling masonry. Not even in San Francisco are houses built like in Miami from a seismic point of view, or in Chile like in Brazil. Even in the Republic of Moldova there are these rules, a country that is not a member of the EU. Here is a short example of construction on concrete frames. ruclips.net/video/AgzFiUtLRAk/видео.html and the upstairs ceiling ruclips.net/video/E2IwdPS6vuQ/видео.html
very good .
your Europe map on 6.25 is awfull. where did you get it?
Is water and sewer installed after completion?
It's all gone Ytong.
Any burglar can enter with just a drill and few hammers through the wall ...
+Vijay Sharma - yup,good point,but in reality if a thief wants to get into your house he will regardless of the security and construct.
Yes but just with a drill and hammer on the wall is too easy ;-)
+Vijay Sharma why so? breaking the window is easier, don't you think?

maybe people in Europe don't worry about earthquakes... they never experience one even before the fall of the Roman Empire... my opinion only
