Análisis y comparación de la amenaza sísmica Perú - Ecuador - Colombia : Comparación edificación en zona de peligro sísmico alta de Colombia con edificación en zona sísmica VI Ecuador.

Abstract

The goal of this curricular integration project is to compare a building located in Cali (Colombia) with one in Portoviejo (Ecuador). The reason for selecting these locations is that both are situated in high seismic hazard zones, with Cali facing high seismic hazard and Portoviejo falling into Zone VI. To achieve this, the NSR-10 regulations for Colombia and the NEC-15 regulations for Ecuador will be followed. The building proposed for analysis will be an architectural design consisting of 10 upper floors and 3 basement levels, with a mixed use including commercial spaces, offices, and apartments. Starting from the architectural design, dead loads will be calculated according to each country, as masonry weights vary. Structural elements such as beams, slabs, and columns will be designed to assess differences in reinforcement and crosssections. Additionally, costs and budgets will be analyzed to determine the total direct cost in each case. Finally, a non-linear analysis will be conducted to evaluate the performance criteria of each structure under real conditions. The result of this work will be a comprehensive comparative analysis of seismic design standards, specifically the NEC-15 for Ecuador and the NSR-10 for Colombia. This analysis will reveal the differences in design and cost, considering that both locations are in similar seismic hazard zones.
