The Armenian Ministry of City Building plans to develop a number of
documents concerning seismic resistance of buildings as well as norms
on commissioning the buildings in the course of 2006, deputy minister
of city building Karen Gevorgyan told an international scientific
conference today.
Gevorgyan noted that Armenia adopted a document on norms of seismic
resistance in 1995. The document underwent several amendments since
new technologies have come about since that time. Particularly,
it requires that seismic insulators be used.
Armenia is one of the first countries to use seismic insulators,
the conference participants noted. Japan has used them long ago with
much success. 10 000 such buildings are built in Japan, using seismic
insulators. 8 buildings in different towns of Armenia are also equipped
with this new technology using the technology of Michael Melkumian,
head of Association on seismic resistance constructions.
