ANALYSIS OF SEISMIC DESIGN METHODS FOR BUILDINGS
The Far East is the most seismically active region of the Russian Federation. About 80% of all earthquakes occur within the Kurilo-Kamchatka island arc, including almost all with a magnitude of M = 7¾ and above. At present, the Far Eastern region is actively developing, new high-rise buildings and unique constructions are being constructed in seismic areas as well. Therefore, when developing the design documentation of such buildings it is necessary to study all conditions arising during construction, and this in turn may lead to complication of calculation of buildings. At the same time, seismic phenomena, their effects on buildings and structures as well as the calculation procedure for structures subject to seismic effects are not fully understood and, to date, is one of the most complex areas of construction activity.
