Evaluación sismo resistente de una vivienda de dos plantas de hormigón armado ubicada en la ciudad de Machala.

Abstract

This project proposes the structural evaluation of an existing two-level reinforced concrete house located in Machala city. To achieve the main objective we star getting the plans that will allow us to identify the physical variables of the current condition, followed by the structure modeling in ETABS and manual processes. At last, we made a structural analysis based on the NEC_SE_HM, Reinforced concrete structures and NEC_SE_DS, Seismic design verifying this way, the accomplishment with the minimum specifications established in elements minimum dimensions, quality of materials, concrete and reinforcing steel characteristics. The results obtained were successfully, due to the structures performs the minimum specifications, providing security to the house occupants in front of a possible seismic event.
