The object of the research is the forecast of seismic resistance when strengthening the soil foundations of structures. The purpose of the work is to numerically estimate the total increment of seismic intensity during artificial transformation and strengthening of foundation soils based on the results of geomechanical modeling. The study is based on classical mathematical methods for modeling soil foundations in a flat nonlinear setting. A new approach to determining the total increment of seismic intensity is presented, based on determining the ratio of the values of subsidence of the foundations of buildings and structures before and after soil strengthening. The paper presents the results of predicting changes in seismic resistance for real objects, obtained from the data of engineering and geological surveys and numerical computer models. It was found that due to the transformation of soil foundations, seismic resistance can decrease by more than 0.5 points. This technique can be used both to adjust the scoring for individual objects and to clarify the boundaries of seismic zones on OCP maps.
