4. Consequences for the performance and design of structures
By significantly extending the zones affected by seismic risk, the new legislation will reduce the overall seismic risk nationwide.
Initial studies involving the re-dimensioning, according to the new seismic regulations, of theoretical or real structures, which had previously been dimensioned according to the old PS92 rules (
