To answer this question<\/strong>, it is necessary to define the meaning<\/strong> of the word \"safe<\/strong>\". In this context it means to protect life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past two decades it has become evident<\/strong> that this is not enough<\/strong>. The meaning of \"safe\" also extends <\/strong>to limiting<\/strong> overall losses<\/strong>. This view involves a revision<\/strong> of design<\/strong> logic, with two key aspects<\/strong> to be considered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- The limitation<\/strong> of damage to nonstructural elements<\/strong> especially for relatively usual seismic actions<\/strong>, but also in the case of few actions when it comes to buildings<\/strong> whose functioning is essential<\/strong> in the event of a disaster<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- The idea of structures<\/strong> that promote damage containment for habitual actions and that allow fast<\/strong>, concentrated repairs in areas of easy access and intervention<\/strong> for strong actions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mixed steel-concrete<\/strong> frame structures lend themselves very well to structural damage<\/strong> reduction<\/strong>. The solution to be pursued is to combine<\/strong> mixed frames<\/strong> with bracing <\/strong>structures, in walls that are also mixed<\/strong> or braced<\/strong> frame.
