Análisis del desempeño sísmico del edificio de laboratorio Clínico Ochoa - Matriz

Abstract

This research aims to know the structural behavior of the Ochoa-Matriz Clinical Laboratory Building located on Av. Gonzales Suarez of the Ambato Canton in the province of Tungurahua. This experimental work complies with the requirements established in the NEC SE CG, NEC SE DS and NEC SE RE standards, from which a survey was carried out of architectural and structural information to perform a mathematical model in a specialized calculation software. Through this program it was determined translational and rotational movements, drifts, design period, behaviour of structural elements such as beams and columns, In addition, with the help of the calculation program, the evaluation of seismic performance in the building was applied based based on ASCE/SEI 41-13 to determine the levels of performance before requests of a frequent, occasional, rare and very rare earthquake. Thus, the plastic ball joints were also analyzed to know the displacement and cutting of these to categorize their level of performance. Based In the calculation and therefore it was necessary to use a concrete cladding reinforcement to improve its structural behavior.
