Calculation of Earthquake Loads and Constructive Solutions in Designing Stable Residential Buildings in Earthquake Areas

The article studies engineering solutions aimed at calculating earthquake loads, selecting a structural scheme and increasing seismic safety in the design of stable residential buildings in seismic areas. The study analyzed the spectral approach, structural regularity, inter-storey displacement, center of gravity and center of mass imbalance, foundation-soil interaction and energy-absorbing structural elements based on the principles of QMQ 2.01.03-19 “Construction in seismic areas”, SHNQ 2.01.07-21 “Loads and actions” and Eurocode 8. As a result, a step-by-step calculation algorithm for residential buildings, criteria for evaluating structural decisions and practical recommendations were developed.
