Diseño estructural sismorresistente para un edificio de uso mixto en el Cantón El Triunfo

Abstract

CONDITION FOR PUBLICATION OF PROJECT. Population growth in El Triunfo has generated the need for safe, functional, and resilient buildings that contribute to commercial and residential development. This project aims to provide the structural design of a five-story office and apartment building in the canton. This thesis summarizes the structural design process, considering the foundation and earthquakeresistant criteria to ensure the building's stability. The proposal aims to contribute to the sustainable urban development of the local community. To develop the designs, soil studies and geotechnical laboratory tests were conducted to characterize the terrain and define an appropriate foundation. The structural system selected, based on an evaluation of criteria, was reinforced concrete moment frames. Calculations and verifications were performed using current NEC-SE-HM and ACI 318S-14 standards. Ultimately, designs were obtained that meet national and international safety and quality standards, consolidating a reliable structure that meets technical requirements and contributes to the orderly growth of the El Triunfo canton.
