Análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo del grado de vulnerabilidad sísmica de la Facultad de Ciencias Administrativas de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato, Campus Huachi.

Abstract

In the present research work, the degree of seismic vulnerability of the administrative building of the faculty of Administrative Sciences of the Technical University of Ambato, Campus Huachi, was determined by means of two methodologies such as Qualitative and Quantitative. For the first methodology formats raised were used by both local and international standards, the results of which were opposed because by FEMA 154 format is described the structure as highly vulnerable, and using the formats set by the NEC 2015 and the National Secretary Risk Management structure did not present any seismic vulnerability, for this analysis took into account primarily irregularities in plan and elevation, soil type, the year it was built and materials. For the second approach the point of performance of the structure was determined by a nonlinear analysis, in the same way, the four damage thresholds (MILD, MODERATE, EXTENSIVE, COMPLETE) suggested by RISK EU and HAZUS was calculated, which they served of base to carry out an analysis of fragility to the structure thus presenting a high degree of probability that the structure will enter into extensive and complete damage, which means that it presents a high seismic vulnerability.
