Estudio de riesgo sísmico, evaluación y rehabilitación del edificio de la Facultad de Ingeniería de la UCSG.

Abstract

This thesis aims to evaluate the current earthquake resistance of the building of the Faculty of Engineering of the UCSG, to compare it with the earthquakeresistant requirements established by the Chapters of the NEC-2015 Norm and determine if it is necessary or not its reinforcement. For this end, all the relevant information of the structure was collected, such as structural and architectural surveys, of the soil and new readings in columns. With the help of the ETABS computer program, elastic and inelastic drifts were found to compare them with the limits established by the NEC-2015 Norm and relating them to the damage; after that, the capacity of columns were checked with interactions diagrams and the capacity of beams. The results show that it is not necessary the reinforcement of the Faculty of Engineering with all the considerations that have been made in this research; however, a new structural survey and a new more accurate soil study are necessary.
