Abstract
Paper deals with a critical evaluation of the construction scheme of residential buildings in the cities of Spitak and Leninakan, which were severely destroyed during the Spitak earthquake in 1988. Besides this a suggestion is made to protect buildings in the region which are constructed in a similar manner and which ought to be retrofitted for further earthquakes to be expected.
