Abstract

The concepts of seismic risk are examined and the procedure of calculation of the probability of the failure of construction with the earthquake is given. Centuries-old experience of fight with the consequences of earthquakes, accumulated by humanity, attests to the fact that the most efficient method of their minimization consists of taking of advance and scale antiseismic measures even with the building on the earthquake-hazard territories. Antiseismic measures a priori need additional expenditures in the comparison with the building in the nonseismic regions. From the point of view of the effectiveness of such expenditures they must be justified by reduction in the probable losses (risks of damage) from the earthquakes.
