Estudio del peligro sísmico determinista para las estructuras del cantón Ambato sector Huachi Loreto ubicado en la avenida las Américas, avenida El Rey, avenida Bolivariana y Camino El Rey

Abstract

In the present research work, a specific spectrum was found for Huachi Loreto sector determining the parameters needed in acceleration by using the Ground Movement Prediction Equations GMPE's for the regimes that dominate the study area (Cortical Regime and Subduction). These equations are based fundamentally on the most representative seismic characteristics such as: Cutting Wave Speed Vs30, Type of Fault, Seismic Moment Moment Magnitude Mw, Focal Depth and Joyner-Boore Distance which is the closest distance to the surface projection of the fault RJB. Once the different spectra were obtained, an envelope was generated which collects the maximum acceleration values calculated in the different periods, which were compared with those established by the NEC-15 to later analyze the critical intervals in which the Deterministic Spectrum exceeds the of the regulations. Subsequently, the incidence of the Specific Spectrum found for the study site was analyzed in the structural behavior of 3 buildings built in that area, comparing the results obtained with the regulations (NEC-15).
