What is the compliance of buildings with seismic standards 🚧


👉 In Italy, measures for seismic safety have been implemented, and significant work has been done in this area over the past decades.

❇ Buildings constructed before 1974: often did not account for seismic requirements. Such buildings need to be inspected and are likely to require structural reinforcement to protect against earthquakes.

❇ Buildings constructed between 1974 and 1996: may have basic seismic elements, but they do not meet modern safety standards. Living in such buildings is potentially dangerous in high seismic risk zones, especially if no modernization has been carried out.

❇ Buildings constructed between 1996 and 2008: used improved methods and materials for seismic resistance, although they do not comply with the most current requirements. These buildings are generally safer, but may need modernization, especially in areas with the highest seismic risk.

❇ Buildings constructed after 2008: are considered the safest in Italy in terms of seismic resistance, as they are built according to current standards (NTC 2008). These buildings have reinforced foundations, flexible structures, modern materials, and are designed to withstand earthquake loads.
