METHODS FOR CALCULATING BUILDINGS WITH SEISMIC INSULATION SYSTEMS

Abstract

Currently, the main task facing modern seismically stable construction is the most effective and economically feasible tool for ensuring the reliability and seismic resistance of buildings and structures - a seismic isolation system. The task of reducing material and social damage from strong earthquakes is solved in two ways: developing earthquake forecasts and constructing earthquake-resistant buildings and structures. In seismic zones, the design of modern buildings and structures is carried out mainly in two directions - using passive and active methods[1-5]. The traditional (passive) method of ensuring the seismic stability of structures includes increasing the load-bearing capacity of structures by increasing the dimensions and strength of materials and the use of seismic belts, reinforced concrete additives in buildings with load-bearing brick walls, additional strengthening of the intersections of longitudinal and transverse walls, all of which require a significant increase in the number of building materials and equipment. The use of seismic insulation significantly increases the reliability of buildings; the safety and reliability of equipment, the economic indicators of buildings, the absence of the need for restoration work after strong earthquakes, creates convenience for the population.
