EARTHQAUKE OF BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES: REGULATORY "MUST-DO" OR SCIENTIFICALLY SUBSTANTIATED RESULTS

Within the present article the problem of selection and substantiation of “compensating measures” to provide earthquake resistance of buildings and structures which have deviations from structural regulatory requirements is considered. The authors proposed and tested a theoretical approach to substantiation of earthquake resistance of buildings and structures as opposed to unreasonable utilization of seismic isolation devices. The proposed approach is demonstrated through validation of seismic resistance of the Choreographic Academy building located in Sevastopol city with the use of a numerical (finite element) analysis performed in a physically nonlinear dynamic formulation, taking into account the structural solution compensating extra factor.
