Researching design solutions for frames of buildings in case of increased seismic intensity in specific zones

Abstract

Currently, there is a trend to increase the estimated seismic hazard for construction sites. With this, the buildings erected under the previously valid norms have the lesser hazard resistance. The present article inquiries into an issue of how the design solutions affect the safety of the building change under the increased seismic intensity. This article represents the calculation of a building without regard to seismic intensity and the same was made for a rate-7 seismic intensity district. Recommendations on enhancement of building frame elements reinforcement and an evaluation of strain stress behavior changes for the building frame are given herein.
