Análisis sísmico y posible reforzamiento del bloque C de la unidad educativa Santo Domingo de Guzmán ubicado en la ciudad de Ambato provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

The research was developed in an reinforcement concrete building in the Educational Unit Santo Domingo de Guzmán in Ambato city, Tungurahua province, where classrooms from sixth to ninth grade students of basic general education attend, that is children and young people from 11 to 14 years old approximately and the staff that teaches them. To analize the building was considerated its structure in the three floors, with a construction area of 864.34 square meters, based on the Ecuadorian Standard of Construction, the American Concrete Institute ACI-318-14, the ASCE-41-13 and with ETABS 2018 support as specialized software for structural analysis. For the structure modeling, sclerometric tests were performed to determine the Strength of the concrete, and the scanning of the structural elements was carried out for the determination of reinforcements in them, data that allowed us to do the analysis and thus be able to determine the current state of the structure. At the end of the study, it was determined that the structure should be reinforced using metal casings in columns and space frames with stiffening diagonals. The investigation concludes with the proposal of reinforcement with their respective technical specifications and the referential budget for the development of the same.
