Estudio del peligro sísmico determinista para las estructuras de Ambato sector San Antonio

Abstract

This research is developed to evaluate the seismic hazard in a deterministic way based on the use of prediction equations of soil movement and what is necessary for the development of them, such as the cutting wave speed Vs, fault type, moment magnitude M and distance to the projection on the surface of the fault rjb; the purpose is to obtain acceleration spectra for both cortical and subduction regimes that apply in the study area. Once each spectrum for each failure and attenuation model has been obtained, an envelope with the maximum acceleration values is carried out in different periods of each of them, this envelope will be known as a specific spectrum and compared with the spectrum of the NEC-15. As a result of this comparison, it was determined that the normed spectrum satisfactorily covers the maximum accelerations obtained in the study.
