Abstract

The present master's thesis is focused on determining the degree of compliance with the Ecuadorian Construction Standard, by the companies or companies that belong to this construction industry. The issue was defined, due to the risk presented by most buildings in the Metropolitan District of Quito to collapse during a seismic event, and cause loss of life; and the importance of complying with the requirements established in the NEC to provide greater protection and to guarantee the functionality of a building, after an extreme seismic event. Through the results of this research work, it will be possible to identify the level of compliance that the construction companies present in each of the chapters of the Ecuadorian Construction Standard, and inform the State about the points that must be focused to ensure that all the professionals, companies and public and private institutions belonging to the construction, comply with the minimum requirements established in the regulations.
