Comportamiento estructural de tipologías usadas en camposantos del Distrito Metropolitano de Quito, casos de estudio: Cementerio Zámbiza y San José de Cocotog; intervención hidráulica y obras menores en el cementerio de Zámbiza

Abstract

The project was developed in the Zámbiza and San José de Cocotog cemeteries, the objective is to study the structural behavior of the typologies used in the aforementioned cemeteries, in addition to the hydraulic intervention and minor works. After the technical visit, it was found that the structures of the Zámbiza cemetery are deteriorated and also have structural problems, so the design of new pavilions in that sector was proposed. For the new designs, a topographic survey of the project area and three borings for the SPT test were performed in order to determine the soil classification and admissible capacity; data necessary for the design of the new pavilions. The analysis of the existing structures was carried out in ETABS software, concluding that the current Zámbiza pavilions do not meet the seismic-resistant conditions according to the NEC, while the San José de Cocotog pavilion does meet the conditions. Upon concluding that the current structures of the Zámbiza cemetery are not optimal, the design of new pavilions was carried out, thus, two blocks were designed, which comply with the seismic-resistant conditions set forth by the NEC. In addition, the implementation of hydraulic structures and minor works was carried out. Finally, the designs of columns, beams, slabs, footings and walls were presented, as well as the respective plans, which made it possible to generate an estimated schedule and a referential budget.
