Comportamiento estructural de una vivienda unifamiliar aporticada con viga banda utilizando un programa estructural

Abstract

In the city of Quito, the structural system formed by flat slabs including band beams or also known as embedded beams and columns predominates in many sectors of the capital, being this system more than 50% of the existing constructions in the city, which in many cases do not have an adequate structural calculation, since they are elaborated by unqualified personnel to reduce construction and regularization costs, this is largely due to the lack of knowledge of the application of the Ecuadorian Construction Standard (NEC-15) which is in force until the present research. For the design and modeling of the structure we will use the structural software ETABS in which will be able to introduce the parameters for the nonlinear static analysis achieving in this way to verify the structural safety of single-family houses of up to 2 floors in the city of Quito, applying the Pushover method and making use of the NEC-15, ACI 318-19, FEMA 440 and ASCE41-13.
