Aplicación del software etabs para la evaluación de la estructura de hormigón armado del edificio de ciencias informáticas frente al comportamiento sísmico del 16 de abril del 2016

Abstract

This research work arises from the earthquake that occurred in the province of Manabí on April 16, 2016 and consists of the evaluation of damages in the structural and nonstructural elements of the building of the Faculty of Computer Sciences of the Technical University of Manabí And also the determination of the behavior of the building through a static (basal cutting) and dynamic (spectral modal) analysis where what is sought is to check and check that the elements that actually failed, are reflected in the modeling executed through Of structural software Etabs. The work includes the structural modeling of the building with masonry and the building without masonry to check how the masonry influences the rigidity of a given structure. These analyzes will yield: Floor shifts. Displacement of centers of mass. Periods and modes of vibration. Cutting forces and maximum global momentum. Efforts on certain elements. Failure type of the structural elements using the elastic analysis to be used. In addition, the short column effect of a flat porch with respect to the building will be compared to verify how the masonry influences the generation of this structural failure. With the development of this research, it was concluded that the masonry provides a greater rigidity to the building, reducing the external stresses to which it is subjected, in addition, the faults suffered by the structure were compared, since with the earthquake a building beam and Rest of the ladder suffered bending and shear faults respectively, while in the modeling the program showed certain overloaded structural elements that in real life cannot be observed giving us as a result that certain elements can incur internal fault and are not observed easily
