The Institute of Geophysics and Engineering Seismology after A. Nazarov National Academy of Sciences Armenia designed and produced a seismic engineering complex that runs in autonomous mode with software package: The complex consists of a system of observational points (surface, borehole), communication and recording units.

In reservoirs of Armenia with total capacity about 1.4 milliard m3 is concentrated, more than 75% of above mentioned amount of water in 20 reservoirs. The reservoirs with technical parameters and class of hydraulic structures (dams) are considered essential and refer to the most responsible hydraulic structures. On proposal of IGES NAN RA for technical modernization projects of the reservoirs seismic engineering system on the dams were obtained on required conditions. This article includes tests and the main results of seismic engineering monitoring of dams and reservoirs.

With the kinematic excitation of a cantilever rod, it has been shown that flexural-shear oscillations begin at the free end of the rod. In this case, internal bulk forces arise in the rod, which oppose 1/2 f (x, t) to external force, and at the free end of the rod, an associated pair F (l, t) and M (l, t) arise. This coupled pair is the true cause of flexural-shear vibrations. The second part of the force f (x,t) goes to create purely shear vibrations.
From the developed new gravitational-vortex theory of seismic stability, it follows that in the design schemes for one-dimensional models there is a fourfold reserve (reserve) for the assessment of forces and moments in the sections of a homogeneous rod. These capabilities make it possible to increase the acceleration on the seismic zoning maps at least twice and to bring the accelerations observed during strong and destructive earthquakes into line with the accelerations used in BRandR.
