Tiivistelmä
This Bachelor’s thesis is dedicated to the seismic design in Europe and Russian Federation. The main goal was to provide the information needed for an English-speaking specialist to perform seismic design in the two re-gions above. The thesis was commissioned by Pöyry Oy.
The thesis is based on the latest normative standards valid in the two re-gions: Eurocode 8 and SP 14.13330.2014. The background information needed to write the thesis is structural engineering knowledge learned at HAMK UAS and the help of the specialists at Pöyry Oy combined with various books and internet articles. In the appendix, a practical example of seismic design of a steel building is provided.
The outcome is a comparison of both standards. The Russian norms demonstrated to be much less detailed, especially in the phase of detailing after the structural analysis. Therefore, a specialist must be experienced enough and have sufficient background so as to design earthquake resistant buildings in Russia.
