EARTHQUAKE PROTECTION OF A CITY DEPENDING ON THE LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITY OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS
It is known that the major rule in the document [1] provides calculation of responsible buildings for severe seismic load in comparison with buildings with normal responsibility. However in all construction federal laws of the Russian Federation and regulatory documents residential buildings that have less than 17 floors, that is the main part of buildings in cities, are not considered as buildings with the raised level of responsibility. It is proved that when we are speaking about earthquake protection the most responsible buildings must be residential ones.
