Abstract

In the article, the impact of seismic surface waves on the building was determined using the finite element method (FEM) with the help of the Plaxis 3D software package. The amplitude of stress, displacement, velocity, and acceleration at each point was identified, and seismic barriers were employed to mitigate these effects. The effectiveness was assessed by varying the distance between the building and the seismic barrier. Seismic barriers, with a thickness of 1 meter and a height of 3 meters, were placed at distances of 24, 26, 28, and 30 meters from the center of the building. The results were compared with those in the absence of barriers, and the effectiveness was analyzed.
