Technical Passportization of Buildings and Seismic Resistance Assessment

Abstract

The article discusses the issues of technical passportization of buildings and the assessment of their seismic resistance. Existing passportization methods are analyzed, the main objective of passportization and its results are discussed. A form for the building’s passport card is proposed, and the procedure for filling out the passport card for both new buildings and buildings in operation is provided. It is recommended to use the vibration machine BUM-80 for assessing the seismic resistance of buildings, as it allows us to subject the building to conditions as close as possible to real earthquakes and to perform the identification of its computational model under various impact levels. The issue of the wide implementation of modern active and passive special constructions for protecting buildings from seismic impacts in seismic construction in Georgia is raised. The readiness of the National Association of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology of Georgia for conducting passportization of buildings in Tbilisi, assessing the seismic resistance of existing high-rise buildings, and determining the effectiveness of active seismic protection measures is emphasized.
