A big research effort has been made on the prediction of earthquakes in the last decades, and in fact the exploration of the new techniques aiming to foresee the occurrence of seismic events is in a continuous progress. Several analytical tools have been developed around the world in order to estimate, with different degrees of accuracy, the vulnerability of buildings and the probable loss of lives and economic resources, due to the occurrence of an earthquake. Those tools are intended to be used by government agencies, and even by insurance companies, as a mean for planning of emergency preparedness procedures and response strategies, and also for the reconstruction phases. Nonetheless, most of the current available tools require a large amount of resources, in terms of money, time and computational effort, in order to be properly implemented and effectively used.

Seismic analysis of structural building with reinforced concrete shear walls according to the European Standards

Durres, Albania

A big research effort has been made on the prediction of earthquakes in the last decades, and in fact the exploration of the new techniques aiming to foresee the occurrence of seismic events is in a continuous progress. Several analytical tools have been developed around the world in order to estimate, with different degrees of accuracy, the vulnerability of buildings and the probable loss of lives and economic resources, due to the occurrence of an earthquake. Those tools are intended to be used by government agencies, and even by insurance companies, as a mean for planning of emergency preparedness procedures and response strategies, and also for the reconstruction phases. Nonetheless, most of the current available tools require a large amount of resources, in terms of money, time and computational effort, in order to be properly implemented and effectively used. The paper presents the basic requirements and procedures for the seismic design of Reinforced Concrete Structure of buildings with non-connected shear walls according to the European Code for Seismic Design of Buildings, Eurocode 8. For the many cases, lifelong and Sustainability of the Structure are depends from the earthquake action, type of structure, quality of materials, height, shape of building etc. Based on devastating effects data from the earthquake strike in recently time for the all around and South East European Countries the Structural type has a prime role for the building capability.
