Action and site
Seismic zoning, soil parameters, response spectra and design levels of action.
Standards and codes
Design solutions linked to clear requirements and criteria
The regulatory framework defines design actions, analysis methods and requirements for devices, testing and documentation. The applicable set of codes is fixed in the project brief.
SP RKnational requirements of Kazakhstan
EN 1998design of structures for earthquake resistance
EN 15129anti-seismic devices
ISO 22762elastomeric seismic isolators
System of requirements
The codes work together
Structural analysis
Modelling methods, load combinations, strength, displacement and stability criteria.
Device requirements
Performance characteristics, tolerances, durability, application conditions and marking.
Testing and acceptance
Type and production checks, sampling scope, reporting and conformity criteria.
Key documents
Reference points for design and supply
01
SP RK and national codes
Requirements for construction in seismic regions of Kazakhstan, loads, foundations, structures and design procedures. The specific list and editions are fixed in the project brief.
02
EN 1998 / Eurocode 8
Principles for the design of earthquake-resistant structures, including buildings, bridges and special structures.
03
EN 15129
Requirements for anti-seismic devices, their characteristics, testing and conformity assessment.
04
ISO 22762
A series of standards for elastomeric seismic isolators, including test methods and product requirements.
05
Project technical conditions
A document that records parameters, tolerances, the testing programme, installation, inspection and device replacement.
Application
How regulatory requirements become a project package
01
Code matrix
We identify mandatory documents, applicable international standards and the priority of requirements.
02
Design criteria
We record levels of action, permissible displacements, forces, accelerations and damage.
03
Device specification
We link the parameters of the analytical model to product characteristics, tolerances and marking.
04
Conformity control
We prepare the testing programme, the document package and the on-site acceptance procedure.
Important
Reference information does not replace project-specific regulatory analysis
The list on this page is indicative. Codes are updated, and requirements depend on the country, facility type, design stage and contract conditions. Before issuing design documentation it is necessary to verify current editions, official translations, national annexes and the mandatory status of each document.
Next step
We will build the code matrix for your project
We will map the requirements for analysis, devices, testing and acceptance documentation.
