OVERVIEW OF THE UNATED STATES AND THE EUROPEAN UNION STANDARDS IN TERMS OF ANALYSIS OF BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES UNDER SEISMIC WAVE ACTION

Abstract

The article discusses the terms of the US and EU standards (ASCE -7-10, ASCE-4-98, FEMA P-1051/2016, EN 1998-6: 2005) concerning the calculations of earthquake -resistant buildings and structures taking into account wave seismic effectsin the ground base. For the considered standards, wave propagation models and accepted approaches to seismic analysis were investigated; limitations on the use of the standard methods were identified.
