Evaluación y rehabilitación de una edificación de mampostería portante ubicada en el Centro Histórico de Quito, en el año 2021

Abstract

The current technical project, presents in its content, a series of steps to carry out an evaluation and a subsequent rehabilitation of a construction that is located in the Historic Center of the city of Quito. This series of steps is intended to improve the state of the structure and give greater security to its inhabitants. As support for this study, the NEC 2015 and ASCE 41-17 standards will be used. Within the configuration of the structure we can find brick masonry walls, central columns made of stone, beams, some wooden elements such as joists and planking, and an adaptation of a metallic structure. As there are no plans, a field survey and a sclerometer test are carried out to obtain the mechanical properties of the masonry. In addition, a diagnosis of seismic vulnerability of the previously classified structure is made, using the ASCE 41-17 standard. Then, a modeling is carried out in a commercial software for structural analysis, of the building in its current state and later with reinforcement, which will be determined depending on the state of each of the elements.
