Microzonificación sísmica del barrio San Cayetano para determinar el comportamiento dinámico de los suelos

Abstract

Abstract: The seismic microzoning applied to the San Cayetano neighborhood involves a thorough analysis of the geological, geotechnical, and structural characteristics of this specific urban area in relation to its response to seismic events. By dividing the neighborhood into smaller segments, local variations in soil and geological conditions that influence the propagation and amplification of seismic waves can be identified. This information is essential for urban planning, structural engineering, and seismic risk management.The microzoning of the San Cayetano neighborhood is based on the collection and analysis of geological, geophysical, and geotechnical data, used to define different types of soils and rock strata. Through the application of specialized software and the use of mathematical models, a prediction can be approximated regarding how these characteristics will impact the soil's response to seismic events. The results are presented in seismic hazard maps and classify areas based on their susceptibility to soil amplification. This is done with the purpose of implementing a guide for urban sector planning.
