Análisis experimental del desempeño sísmico del edificio de la Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, mediante la medición de aceleraciones

Abstract

In the present research work, according to a qualitative and quantitative analysis, the degree of vulnerability of the Faculty of Jurisprudence and Social Sciences of block 1A-1B and block 2 of the Technical University of Ambato of the Huachi campus was obtained. For the qualitative methodology, rapid visual inspection matrices established by FEMA 154 were obtained, which shows that block 1A-1B shows that the structure is vulnerable and has a probability of collapse and block 2 shows that it has a low degree of vulnerability to a seismic activity, according to NEC-15, shows that it has a high degree of vulnerability of both blocks, this classification was obtained by the irregularities in plan and elevation, the type of soil, the year the building was built and knocking problems with adjacent structures. For the quantitative analysis, it will be delayed using the ETABS software in block 1A-1B, it does not meet the parameters established by the NEC since drifts greater than 2 percent are present, for which a reinforcement of placing San Andrés crosses was carried out in the building thus reducing the drifts, therefore, increasing the rigidity and resistance. In block 2, the parameters comply with the current standard. In addition, the analysis of the vibration acceleration of the structure was incorporated through the AISC 11 standard, which determined that the structures are under the limit of 0.50 percent, which is for educational buildings.
