Evaluación del comportamiento de edificaciones de hormigón armado (4 y 8 pisos) frente a sismos severos, variando la deriva inelástica máxima de diseño

Abstract

Throughout time, Latin American countries have been threatened by seismic hazard, which has generated considerable economic losses and human lives in its path, due to various causes that have led structures to collapse, among these are bad processes constructive until the application of obsolete regulations. It is the reason why the present investigation was carried out, which had the purpose of determining the behavior of regular reinforced concrete structures with the application of the NEC-15, in which the parameter to be evaluated was maximum inelastic design drift in the for which a maximum value of 2% is imposed, for which a non-linear Push-Over static analysis was applied in order to be able to determine the level of performance based on said value. For which modeling of buildings of 4 and 8 floors was carried out and they were located in the province of Portoviejo where the seismic risk is high and in turn, they were subjected to the earthquake that occurred in Manabí on April 16, 2016 which generated the collapse of around 40 reinforced concrete buildings.
