by Mark Klyachko, Andrey Benin, Janna Bogdanova

This is a rural housing construction practice widespread in the forested areas of Russia. Buildings of this type are common in seismically prone areas of Russia (Far East, Siberia, Baikal Lake Region). The load-bearing structure is made of wood panel walls. Buildings have timber roof and fieldstone or concrete strip foundations. Typical seria 181-115-77 cm of ‘Giprolesprom’ for seismic regions is an example of this building type. Seismic resistance is relatively high, provided that the quality of materials and the construction are satisfactory.
