Modern Methods for Increasing the Seismic Resistance of Stone Buildings

Today, designers are increasingly faced with problems of non-compliance of existing and long-operated capital construction projects with the requirements of the current regulatory documents. The article deals with some modern methods for increasing the seismic resistance of stone buildings. Design decisions should be based on the results of a technical survey and the execution of a verification calculation of the building frame. The design solutions proposed by the authors of the project make it possible to increase the seismic resistance of stone buildings in accordance with the requirements of regulatory documents in force on the territory of the Russian Federation. The proposed design solutions include the following activities: antiseismic belts at the level of all floors without opening the brickwork of the walls, increasing the rigidity of the floors by providing connections between round-hollow reinforced concrete floors, strengthening the ribbon foundation with transverse metal beams with a broadening of the sole.
