Cálculo estructural de una edificación con aislamiento sísmico en el centro histórico de la ciudad de Cuenca

Abstract

The project compares a reinforced concrete structure with and without seismic isolation in the Historic Center of Cuenca, Ecuador. First, the conventional structure is analyzed and then a structure with seismic isolation is proposed to improve the response to earthquakes. Criteria such as energy dissipation, structural integrity and economic aspects are evaluated. The results show significant reductions in floor drifts and seismic vibrations, demonstrating the effectiveness of seismic isolation.
