Análisis estructural del desempeño sísmico del edificio multifamiliar “Peña Mendoza” de hormigón armado de la ciudad de Santo Domingo de los Colorados, ubicado en la cooperativa 30 de Julio mediante el método de vibraciones

Abstract

Since the structure did not meet the expected seismic performance level, a vulnerability analysis was performed using qualitative and quantitative methods proposed in FEMA 154 and NEC 15. In the vulnerability analysis performed with the qualitative method proposed by FEMA 154 and NEC 15, a quick visual inspection of the entire structure was performed, taking into account each of the characteristics such as irregularity in plan and elevation, year of construction, construction code used; data necessary to calculate the degree of vulnerability of the structure, which presents a high degree of vulnerability according to FEMA 154 and a low vulnerability according to NEC 15. In the quantitative analysis, a linear analysis was carried out to determine the structural behavior, which complies with all the parameters established in the Ecuadorian Construction Standard NEC 15; subsequently, the non-linear analysis (pushover) determined that it does not comply with the performance levels expected and proposed by VISION 2000. Finally, a reinforcement was proposed through the implementation of shear walls that allowed an adequate level of structural performance in the event of an earthquake. As a result, the shear walls were able to reinforce the current structure, thus complying with the seismic performance expected in a basic structure.
