IMPACT OF STYLISTIC FEATURES, ARCHITECTURAL AND URBAN RULES OF THE ALGIERS ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE DATING BETWEEN 1830 AND 1930 ON THE STRENGTH OF ITS BUILDINGS DURING THE EARTHQUAKE

Abstract

Abstract. In a other work, we have highlighted a theoretical point of view that there is an relation between the earthquake-resistant architectural design codes and, the urban and stylistic characteristics of buildings and urban forms of the Algiers architectural heritage dating between 1830 and 1930. Following this, we hypothesized that its various stylistic and urban characteristics have a direct impact on the resilience of buildings to earthquakes. The purpose of this article is to try through the computer simulation examples of some stylistic and urban characteristics to prove the validity or not of our hypothesis.
