CONSTRUCTIVE METHODS OF PROTECTING BUILDINGS FROM SEISMIC EXPOSURE

This article discusses approaches to assessing the seismic impact on the underground parts of buildings and structures and analyzes possible measures to minimize them. The development of promising methods of constructive seismic protection dictated by the imperative need and requirements of improving the safety of buildings and structures of enhanced security is given. Without knowledge of the real geodynamic risks (the impact of earthquakes, fluctuations in the level of groundwater), investing of funds in seismic safety will be ineffective. The main objective of the research is to develop a set of measures for assessing the seismic-geotechnical situation of the construction site due to the fact that at present: taking into account difficult ground conditions is estimated very roughly, the seismicity of the territory is determined by averaged indicators; geodynamic data (score) is insufficient for modeling and calculating the underground part of the building; there is no practice of a comprehensive study of the system (the soil foundation - the underground part - the upper structure) before and after construction.
