Estudio del peligro sísmico determinista para las estructuras de Ambato sector Huachi Chico ubicado entre las calles Julio Jaramillo, Rio Machangara, Rio Payamino y Av. Atahualpa

Abstract

The purpose of this experimental work is to evaluate the existing seismic hazard in an area of Ambato city through a deterministic analysis applied to it. The soil analysis was carried out using the SPT test that is applied in 5 points, 4 of the borders and 1 central, thanks to this it was possible to determine the existing soil type with what can be done to calculate the Vs30 wave velocity in addition 4 faults near the analysis sector were analyzed, which helped to determine the magnitude of the moment Mw, these data were used in the 5 attention equations which served to generate a specific spectrum that together with the spectrum of the NEC, was used in the analysis of 3 structures of the sector through the ETABS, this is the best behavior before a seismic event. The values obtained from the magnitude of the calculated moment for each fault in the study area can be concluded that the mayor in the cortical faults is present in the fault of Ambato and Totoras in a value Mw = 6.5, and can say that the failure of Ambato is the most critical due to the effect of its proximity to the epicenter, while subduction faults give us a value of Mw = 8.9 for the Nazca fault, because it is farthest from the epicenter. Of the three types of structures that were analyzed, it was determined that the structures of the sector do not have enough sections to withstand an earthquake.
