Prvi del članka obravnava naše predpise za zidove, ki veljajo od leta 1949 naprej, in pa predpise za graditev na seizmičnih področjih, izdane v septembru 1964. V drugem delu so prikazane možnosti s pomočjo novega tretiranja osnovnih konstrukcij zidanih zgradb, to je zidov, da bi ustvarili pogoje za nove, dokončne predpise, ki bi omogočili zanesljivo projektiranje s tem materialom. Novi, dokončni predpisi bodo koristni zlasti zato, ker je sedaj opaziti splošen pojav v vseh projektantskih organizacijah, da se projektanti izogibajo projektiranju opečnih objektov, to pa zato, ker jih ne znamo več projektirati, čeprav za te vrste gradnje obstoje dolgoletna tradicija in dobra obrtna izkustva.

The first part of the paper treats our prescriptions for brick walls, which are available from 1949 onward, and also prescriptions for building on seismic areas, published in September 1964. In the second part there are shown the possibilities by new treating of elementary constructions of high buildings, it means of brick walls for setting up the conditions for new, final prescriptions which would make possible a reliable planing with this material. New final prescriptions will be useful especially because now we can notice in all planing organisations a common appearance that projectors elude of planing brick buildings and this because we don’t know any more how to plan them, though many years' tradition and good technical experiences exist for this kind of building.
