Diagnóstico estructural en base a la curva de capacidad del edificio de apartamentos denominado Ciurana ubicado en la ciudad de Ambato, provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

In the present document a structural diagnosis of "Ciurana" building of 6 floors of irregular configuration both in lifting plant for the purpose of determining the behaviour of the structure within the linear range evaluating parameters that the Ecuadorian 2015 construction standard and ACI-318-14 set, as well as the evaluation of the structure in the non-linear range using the capacity curve by the Pushover method to determine the performance point using the specialized software ETABS 2016 based on applicable ATC-40, FEMA 440, and ASCE 41-13. The performance point was determined based on the capacity curve by the Pushover method in both directions X and Y, concluding that the building is able to withstand an earthquake with a return period of 475 years corresponding to a maximum acceleration resisted Sa=0,84g, suffering significant damage to the structure, but avoiding the loss of human life.
