Planteamiento de un sistema estructural con pórticos arriostrados excéntricos para el terminal terrestre de la ciudad de Pasaje.

Abstract

This study focuses on the design of a land terminal with steel structures, implementing eccentric bracing as an advanced solution to improve stability and resistance to lateral loads, such as wind and earthquakes. Eccentric bracing is composed of diagonal elements arranged asymmetrically, allowing lateral forces to be absorbed and dissipated through controlled inelastic deformations, thus reducing lateral deformations and displacements. To evaluate this solution, a structural model of the land terminal was developed and spectral and nonlinear dynamic analyses were carried out to examine the behavior of the structure, as well as the story drifts and periods. The analysis showed that the story drifts and periods responded to a good behavior of the structure. The analysis of 6 blocks of the building is carried out, for the sake of better performance.
