ArmInfo. Many of the new buildings in Yerevan do not comply with
seismic safety standards, Director of the National Seismic Safety
Service of Armenia Alvaro Antonyan said during a press-conference
today.
Today few constructors of apartment houses and office buildings apply
to the Service for seismic safety analysis. The visible parts of
those buildings seem to be stable but Antonyan means the building-soil
inter-connection as not all of the newly built houses are appropriate
for the platforms they are placed on. Special attention should be
paid to seismic resistance of residential complexes especially given
high population density in Yerevan.
