The relevance of the article is due to the low awareness of the population about the possible consequences of an earthquake, as well as ways to prevent and prevent it already at the stage of designing a construction site. The article provides a comparative analysis of Russian and European design standards, which made it possible to identify their advantages and disadvantages. In addition, as a result of a review of Russian and foreign literature, an analysis was made of the development of scientific ideas about the stress-strain state of the geological environment as a result of seismic impacts. Based on the prerequisites set out in the text of the article, options for adjusting the maps of seismic activity of the territories are proposed. As a result of the analysis of the scientific literature, it was concluded that the behavior of soils and structures of buildings and structures during strong earthquakes remains poorly understood and is not always well described by existing mathematical models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
