Análisis sísmico comparativo de un edificio de mediana altura de la ciudad de Manta con sistema convencional y de protección sísmica aislada.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to carry out a comparative analysis of the seismic behavior of a medium-rise building in the city of Manta, using a conventional system with a fixed embedded base and a seismic protection system with a triple friction pendulum device, therefore, the respective standards will be implemented to ensure that the analysis is accurate and in compliance with current regulations. The research is based on a solid theoretical basis, which includes the review of concepts and principles of seismic engineering, applying mathematical models to evaluate said behavior, in turn, factors such as the reduction of seismic forces, reduction of seismic acceleration and improvement of the stability of the building will be considered. The seismic analysis is carried out in the Etabs Software, since it is a structural analysis program specialized in the design and analysis of buildings subjected to seismic loads, which allows a simulation of the building under different seismic scenarios in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the seismic protection system with FPT isolator. The research aims to contribute to the development of design and construction strategies for safe and earthquake-resistant buildings in the region, and to provide recommendations for the implementation of seismic protection systems in mid-rise buildings.
