The behavior of dwellings during the November 10, 1940 and March 4, 1977 earthquakes is briefly presented. Some other three seismic events occurred in Romania after 1977 (August 30/31, 1986, May 30 and 31, 1990). The frequent occurrence of strong earthquakes in Romania led to a situation in which an important part of the building stock was overloaded and/or damaged several times and, in the absence of appropriate rehabilitation works, it has become more vulnerable than initially. Brief information on the evolution of the seismic legislation and final remarks complete the paper. 000011998 540__ $$aText je chráněný podle autorského zákona č. 121/2000 Sb. 000011998 653__ $$adwelling, damage, soft and weak story, earthquake, Bucharest, Romania 000011998 7112_ $$a14th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering$$cBejing (CN)$$d2008-10-12 / 2008-10-17$$gWCEE15 000011998 720__ $$aVlad, Ion$$iVlad, Mihnea 000011998 8560_ $$ffischerc@itam.cas.cz 000011998 8564_ $$s966752$$uhttps://invenio.itam.cas.cz/record/11998/files/S29-002.pdf$$yOriginal version of the author's contribution as presented on CD, Paper ID: S29-002. 000011998 962__ $$r9324 000011998 980__ $$aPAPER
