Need to Establish Regional Research Centers to Protect Construction Objects from the Effects of Natural Hazards

The vast territory of Russia consists of regional territories with individual natural-climatic, geological, hydro-geological, tectonic and seismic conditions. Therefore, the parameters of the impact of natural hazards on regional construction objects will always be different. However, according to the decision of the Government of the Russian Federation, the definition of the parameters of the impact of natural hazards for all construction objects in Russia should be made only by scientists of Central scientific institutes. Therefore, the result of the work of scientists of the Central scientific institutes for all regions of Russia became for example the current regulatory rule of the Russian Federation on the use of understated levels of effect of natural hazards in the calculations of mass residential and public buildings in comparison with their real impacts. Or an example of an understated normative seismic hazard for the territories of settlements in the Volgograd Region in the set of seismic maps OSR-2015. Moreover, the decision of the PC-7 experts in December 2019 recommended the use of a new set of seismic maps OSR-2016 on the territory of Russia, in which the seismic hazard for the territories of settlements in the Volgograd Region is underestimated by another point. The article substantiates the need to create in each region of Russia its own scientific center for the study of the parameters of the impact of natural hazards on construction objects, with which the draft Federal regulatory documents of the Russian Federation of construction content should be coordinated.
