Influencia de la irregularidad en planta en daños en edificios durante sismos en Ecuador.

Abstract

In the present work, it will do a compilation of information that is to say in the creation of the sample of hundreds of structures that resulted affected during seismic events in Esmeraldas, 1979; Guayaquil, 1980; Bahía de Caráquez, 1998: and Pedernales, 2016. Once the sample has been created, it will do distribution and categorization of the buildings depending on the type of soil and damage that occurred during these seismic events and later, a statistical analysis of the buildings affected by the four earthquakes that occurred in the country Ecuador, mentioned in the initial part. In this study, the importance of knowing the irregularities in the plan of the buildings will be emphasized, as well as the knowledge of the Geology and antecedents of the type of soil of the epicenter based on the use of the Standard (NEC-2015). The purpose of this study is to determine the importance of irregularity factors in the plant in the damage to reinforced concrete (steel) buildings during the earthquakes that occurred on the Ecuadorian coast from 1979 to the present year.
