3 | earthquake-resistant design exceeding seismic code regulations/requirement |

earthquake-resistant design exceeding seismic code regulations/requirement Explanation: Seismic design Seismic design is based on authorized engineering procedures, principles and criteria meant to design or retrofit structures subject to earthquake exposure.[18] Those criteria are only consistent with the contemporary state of the knowledge about earthquake engineering structures.[32] Therefore, a building design which exactly follows seismic code regulations does not guarantee safety against collapse or serious damage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_engineering ccccc Earthquake-resistant structures are structures designed to protect buildings from earthquakes. While no structure can be entirely immune to damage from earthquakes, the goal of earthquake-resistant construction is to erect structures that fare better during seismic activity than their conventional counterparts. According to building codes, earthquake-resistant structures are intended to withstand the largest earthquake of a certain probability that is likely to occur at their location Based on studies in New Zealand, relating to Christchurch earthquakes, precast concrete designed and installed in accordance with modern codes performed well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake-resistant_structure... ccccc Second, performance-based requirements, which may exceed the minimum life safety requirements of current seismic codes, must be established to respond appropriately to the threats and risks posed by natural hazards on the building's mission and occupants. https://www.wbdg.org/resources/seismic-design-principles -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2018-07-25 16:09:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oczywiście to można ująć krócej, tak jak sugerujesz design exceeding seismic code regulations seismic design exceeding standard regulations etc. |
