Elaboración de una base de datos mediante la caracterización estructural de edificaciones con el enfoque de riesgo sísmico en la zona 5 del proyecto Regenerar de la cuidad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: Evasion of construction regulations reduces the quality of construction. Consequently, the age of buildings and lack of maintenance increase their vulnerability. Currently, there is no data available to perform an assessment of the structural stability of the houses. This paper addresses the structural characterization of the homes in the Regenerar Zone 5 project in the city of Loja. The research aims to create a database that takes into account the characterization of structural failures in buildings in Zone 5 of the Regenerar project in the city of Loja, taking into account their importance for seismic risk studies and structural assessment. The GEM Global EarthQuake Model was used to collect information, and the vulnerability index was developed using the Benedetti Petrini methodology, applying surveys based on 11 parameters. 74.32% of the assessed buildings were of low vulnerability, 23.65% were of medium vulnerability, and 2.03% were of high vulnerability. The resulting database presents structural information for each of the homes and other relevant data.
