Elaboración de una base de datosmediante la caracterización estructural de edificaciones con el enfoque del riesgo sísmico en la zona 2 del proyecto Regenerar en la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract:The objective of this work is to elaborate a database on seismic risk in zone 2 of the regenerate project in the city of Loja, through the application of the Benedetti and Petrini methodology, adobe, confined masonry and reinforced concrete buildings will be structurally evaluated. The method is based on the analysis of eleven parameters, which are the most relevant and important at the time of estimating the damage caused to a building by the action of an earthquake. Once the vulnerability index was calculated for each house, a tool based on geographic information systems (ArcGis) was used to create a map that reflects the results and thus zoned the study area based on the seismic vulnerability value. The results obtained in this work are: 76.58% (85 houses) have a low vulnerability, while 22.52% (25 houses) have a medium vulnerability and only 0.90% (1 house) has a high vulnerability. This results in a structurally safe area.
