During individual construction in seismic areas, the designer often has to solve problems that violate certain requirements of regulatory documentation on the configuration and number of storeys of the building, architectural and planning solutions of its internal and underground space. In this case, it is necessary to develop special technical conditions (STC) with compensating measures for these deviations, ensuring high seismic resistance of construction objects. The article considers the possibility of using the technology of plastic deformation of the bearing structural elements of the building to ensure the seismic resistance of the object, and also offers a method for assessing the degree of plastic work of the structure.

The paper considers the latest innovations in the field of technical regulation of construction. The authors analyze the drawbacks of the current Technical Regulation «On Safety of Buildings and Structures», the order of putting into effect of the updated normative documents, identify the problems connected with an opportunity of direct (alternative) introduction of Eurocodes, point out the drawbacks in management of technical regulation in construction on the government level and other issues.

Coucherenko, JSC Research Center of Construction. A brief review of research works, monitoring and development of scientific and technical and regulatory documentation in the field of earthquake-proof construction, carried out by the institutes of JSC Research Center of Construction  in recent years is given. The purpose of these works was to solve the tasks set by the President and the Government of the Russian Federation in terms of ensuring the integrated seismic safety of the territory of the Russian Federation. Prospects are out lined and proposals are given by JSC Research Center of Construction on the further development of earthquake-resistant construction  in the Russian Federation.";}
