Vulnerabilidad sísmica del colegio de bachillerato Jambelí en Santa Rosa aplicando la metodología fema p-154 y normativa ecuatoriana de construcción

Abstract

All structures have generally been built in a location with a certain seismic hazard, but the structures that should be given the most attention are those that belong to the category of special or essential occupation, these must be analyzed to rule out if they are susceptible to vulnerabilities that compromise both human life and economic damage. The objective of the present work will be to carry out an analysis of the seismic vulnerability of a block of classrooms of the educational center, Colegio de Bachillerato Jambelí, which belongs to the Santa Rosa city of the Province of El Oro. To carry out the evaluation, the FEMA- P154 and the Ecuadorian Construction Standards, NEC, both mention the Rapid Visual Screening, RVS, analysis for different types of structures. The RVS has a form with a scoring system where the values belonging to our structure under analysis are added. The result of the score in the classroom blocks from, Colegio de Bachillerato Jambelí, was SL1 = 0.2, which means that it has a high probability of seismic vulnerability; therefore, it is concluded that the structure must undergo a detailed structural analysis.
