SOME QUESTIONS OF MULTILEVEL DESIGN IN THE EARTHQUAKE-ENGINEERING

Abstract

The concept of multilevel design, which is formed by the analysis of the destructive earthquakes consequences is examined.The analysis of the strong earthquakes manifestations shows that the activation of geodynamic processes in the Caucasus is observed in the recent decades. This under the conditions of the Caucasus assumes the need for the calculation of the special relief features of one or other construction site or another or more extensive territory of the existing building. The estimation of the seismic danger of mountain territories and compiling the corresponding maps assumes using the final elements method with a study of the impact influence on one or other building or construction. This makes it possible to investigate in their organic interrelation: the impact, the way of propagation and the response of soil and building (construction). The basic methodology essence consists in buildings behavior planning on the basis of probability scheme, which consists of four steps - the seismic danger analysis, design analysis, the damages analysis and the forecast of losses.
