Elaboración de una base de datos mediante la caracterización estructural de edificaciones con el enfoque del riesgo sísmico en la zona 4 del proyecto Regenerar en la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this research study was to obtain a database with a seismic risk approach, through the structural evaluation of buildings that allows obtaining relevant information on seismic danger in zone 4 of the Regenerate project in the city of Loja. The methodology applied in this research study was descriptive and inferential, with a quantitative approach and a non-experimental design, applying bibliographic analysis, observation and tools such as the documentary record and the IDCT observation record. In this context, the Benedetti and Petrini vulnerability index method was used, which analyzes eleven parameters that affect damage to buildings caused by the presence of seismic events. 120 adobe, confined masonry and reinforced concrete buildings were analyzed. In addition, it was found that most of the buildings in zone 4 present safe structural vulnerability 57.26% and average 30.77%. Finally, thematic maps were elaborated in ArcGIS that allow graphing results and zoning zone 4 according to its seismic vulnerability. Which found that there is evasion of the NEC and absence of technical direction during the construction process.
