Priority Tasks of Construction Science in Russia

Tens of millions of Russians live in settlements that are periodically exposed to natural hazards. Federal Law No. 384-FZ “Technical Regulations on the Safety of Buildings and Structures” begins with an indication of the main goal of the construction science in Russia – the protection of life and health of people under hazardous natural impacts. One of the most important tasks of the construction science in Russia is to determine the maximum levels of these impacts during the operation of settlements. However, it is believed that the protection of human life can be provided in buildings for which the design seismic hazard is assumed to be minimal. The author proposes for discussion a new name for Federal Law No. 384-FZ: “Technical Regulations on the Safety of Buildings and Structures in Settlements” and a new name for SP 14.1330.2018: “Seismic Protection of Life and Health of People in Settlements During an Earthquake”.
