Abstract

A short information is given in the article on development and application of the created by the author the seismic isolation systems in Armenia and on its leading position in this field. In this connection, the willingness of the scientific centers, design institutions, universities, academies of different countries to adopt the experience of Armenia is mentioned. As an illustration of the stated above the material on the author’s recent visit to the city of Arequipa by the invitation of the San Pablo Catholic University is accounted. Here the author delivered the lectures, conducted the “master class” and held the press-conference. Together with that a genuine aspiration of the young Peruvian specialists to implement seismic isolation technologies is mentioned and the structural solution of the seismic isolated residential building developed with the author’s consultative contribution is given.

Keywords:

seismic isolation in Armenia, development and application, visit to Peru, transfer of the experience, seismic isolated building, structural solution, consultative contribution.
