Probabilistic methods for calculating seismic resistance of buildings

The article aims to assess possibilities of using probabilistic methods for calculating seismic resistan of buildings based on the laws of structural mechanics. The design schemes and models of buildings rigidly embedded in the base and with a seismic isolation device are described. Formulas developed on the basis of the law of energy conservation, namely the seismodynamic law, which allow to estimate the coefficient of dynamism, are presented. It is proposed to abandon the main modes of vibration in the calculations, i.e. the coefficient ηir of the waveform and the vibration frequency of the residential building and the foundation during earthquakes. Shear and bending calculations of a residential building are based on the design model developed. The values of seismic force are determined by the first and last modes of vibration. Based on these values, it is proposed to calculate internal forces and deformations in the bearing structures of buildings using the methods of structural mechanics.
