Use of metal and wooden structures in seismically active areas

Abstract

Introduction. In seismically active areas, structures made of various materials are widespread, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. Materials and methods. Among the existing materials, metal and wood stand out, which are used for the manufacture of various structures in both civil and industrial buildings. Results. The active use of these structures in seismic areas makes it possible to create structural solutions that can resist seismic effects of various frequency composition and intensity. At the same time, when choosing a material, special attention should be paid to the influence of the prevailing frequency or period of an earthquake on the behavior of the construction site. The article presents the results of research on this influence and some examples of the implementation of structural solutions made of metal and wood.
