Abstract

Structural evaluation in category housing of social interest in Victoria ́s City, height 2214 masl. There was evaluated structural configuration, resistant sections, armors of reinforcement, 143 housings of 932 were evaluated using Excel, statistical analysis, check list tools, comparative strategies. Constructive flaws related to hand lack exist qualified work, inadequate armors of reinforcement, structural discontinuity, deficient knots, minor, moderate and severe damage, constructions on average 12 years, 19 MPa in resistance average to simple compression of the concrete, 2664 Hb approximately exposed to seismic impacts, the norm NEC-SE-DS establishes that “ The whole Ecuadorian territory is catalogued as of high seismic threat” [1]. 37 of 143 homes are abandoned, 76.94% of homes have no maintenance, the streets have layer of rolling of ballast.
