Diseño sismorresistente de una edificación de hormigón armado para uso de un gimnasio

Abstract

The present thesis focuses on the seismic-resistant design of a reinforced concrete building intended for use as a gymnasium. The main objective of this research is to develop a structural design that ensures safety and adequate response to seismic loads, taking into consideration the geographical location and specific characteristics of the gymnasium. The abstract begins with a comprehensive review of the existing literature on seismic-resistant design and structural analysis of reinforced concrete buildings. This review provides a solid theoretical foundation for decision-making in the design process, incorporating the latest advances in the field. Subsequently, the methodology employed to carry out the seismic-resistant design of the gymnasium is detailed. The selection of design parameters, applicable seismic codes and regulations, aswell as criteria for structural modeling and analysis are described. Next, the results of the structural and seismic analysis of the gymnasium are presented. Elastic and inelastic drifts, structural modeling, structural plans, architectural plans, and various combinations of loads are shown, among other aspects. The obtained results are discussed within the context of current seismic design codes and regulations, highlighting the achieved level of safety and the structure's capacity to withstand seismic events.
