However,in the two cases of Golbaf and Ghaen, the re-occurrenceof earthquakes in May 1997 and March 1998, respectively,was an actual test and engineering evaluation of these reconstructions. As it was expected, these tests showed different responses. In the case of Ghaen, after the earthquake, the majority of housing units and schools were totally destroyed due to a magnitude of 6.6 earthquake and created sorrowful scenes. Poor workmanship and lack of supervision and quality control caused the tragedy. In an overall evaluation, the reconstruction of Ghaen was a failure and was the main cause of the large number of casualties during the earthquake of 1997
