ANALYSIS OF QMQ 2.01.03-19 STANDARD FOR ANTI-SEISMIC DESIGN OF BUILDINGS IN STRONG EARTHQUAKE EPICENTERS
Abstract
This study analyzes the application of QMQ 2.01.03-19 standards in designing buildings in high seismic hazard zones of Uzbekistan, particularly in epicentral zones. Epicentral zones are areas within a 20-30 km radius from the earthquake epicenter where seismic impact reaches maximum intensity. The research findings revealed that in 9* intensity zones, the seismic load coefficient increases 8 times compared to 7 intensity zones, and building height decreases from 56 meters to 12 meters (from 16 stories to 3 stories). Spectral and dynamic calculation methods, as well as reinforcement requirements for anti-seismic belts and columns were studied.
