MECHANICS/SEISMIC
Although the earthquake is an unpredictable phenomenon, it is true that throughout Europe it must always be considered.
This attention is directed not only to the main load-bearing structures, but also to secondary non-load-bearing structures in order to limit to the maximum damage to people and things.
Thanks to their lightness and ductility, FIBRAN dry systems represent suitable solutions for the construction and renovation of buildings in seismic areas.
Significant weight reductions can also be achieved in roofs by using the innovative FIBRAN techniques for inclines and load-bearing structures of flat roofs. For buildings of up to two floors, FIBRAN offers innovative solutions even in foundations.
As of the end of 2010, all of the Member States need to apply Eurocodes standards when accepting building designs. Eurocode 8 (EN 1998) applies to the design and construction of buildings and other civil engineering works in seismic regions. Structures for civil protection remain operational.
