Earthquake

Seismic risk is the possibility that an earthquake-type factor will occur and cause various degrees of human, economic and environmental damage.

REGULATIONS

In France, seismic construction regulations have changed periodically. As of 1 May 2011, a new regulatory framework classifies “normal risk” structures into 4 categories, as well as “special risk” structures.

The seismic zoning in force since 1991 was itself modified on this occasion, dividing France into 5 types of zones, from zone 1 (very low seismicity) to zone 5 (high seismicity).

PASSIVE PROTECTION AGAINST SEISMIC RISK

Thank you to NUVIA Group’s teams for their expertise in the following domain:- in structural calculation, civil engineering, and the design of special products, which enables us to implement seismic isolation solutions, for installations subject to the protection regulations against the risk of earthquakes.
