Seismic Joints
Introduction
Seismic or anti-seismic protection deals with the means and equipment that are necessary to ensure constructions against possible seismic movements.
The correct solution requires knowing previous data of the land where the construction is located.
The second fundamental piece of information is the provision of adequate elastic joints to the structure to absorb the energies generated by tectonic movements.
The third relevant factor is to combine the total design of the construction taking into account the settlement and structural factors so that the entire home can be completely safe.
These requirements can only be satisfied through appropriate studies and appropriate technologies.
