Límites de desempeño en el diseño de edificios de hormigón armado utilizando una estructura equivalente SDOF.

Abstract

This article presents the results of the application of the direct method of seismic design based on DDBD displacements in regular reinforced concrete buildings and buildings with cut walls. Thus, through this alternative method the actions in the elements are obtained and by means of design criteria by capacity, dimensions and reinforcements of columns, beams, and walls can be defined. Then using a program using finite elements, gravitational loads, symmetrical loads, energy dissipation mechanisms are assigned and a Nonlinear Static Analysis is performed to validate the performance level of previously designed buildings.
