Architectural and structural aspects influencing the seismic response of buildings

Sina Wanare

Strong limitations were provided on building height exceptions could be allowed but not for buildings having special occupancy involving higher risk. Limitations were fair if considering the seismic resistant construction systems used at the time, consisting of masonry walls. Afterwards, when new materials allowed greater and greater strength level, both in compression and in tension, it has been recognized that the height is not, in itself, a negative factor for the seismic response.
