Abstract
The article provides an assessment of the stability of buildings and structures in the city of Almaty under the influence of frequent earthquakes. Studying this process is not only interesting from a scientific point of view but also has great practical significance for ensuring the safety and stability of buildings in the city. The aim of the work is to investigate the condition of buildings in Almaty in terms of seismic safety characteristics. The research tasks include studying the types of buildings common in the city of Almaty and conducting stability calculations for buildings. This article selects the main and most common type of buildings and structures in each district of the city of Almaty as the research object. The calculations of the level of buildings' stability to seismic vibrations in different areas of the city, information on the estimated seismic resistance level of most buildings, and the calculation of their possible stability indicators are provided. The results show that the stability of buildings and structures in the city depends on reducing seismic activity from bottom to top based on their location (on the map). According to the calculation conclusions, it is necessary to increase the number of design organizations responsible for construction quality and use different building structures and construction methods in different parts of the city. Problems related to building deformation are relevant everywhere. Studying this process in Almaty will contribute to the global knowledge base and help create new technical solutions for safe construction.
