En el presente texto se ilustra el procedimiento de análisis y diseño sísmico de un edificio de acuerdo con el Reglamento Colombiano de Construcciones Sismo Resistentes, NSR-10. Se desarrolla un modelo analítico lineal de pórticos tridimensionales, se analiza una estructura en el espacio y se ilustra y desarrolla el diseño y detalle de los diferentes elementos que lo conforman como son las columnas, vigas, nudos y muros. No sólo se aplica la norma sino que se discuten sus disposiciones y se compara con las normas de otros países.
The subject of earthquake engineering has been the focus of my teaching and research for many years. Thus, when Mario Paz, the editor of this handbook, asked me to write a Foreword, I was interested and honored by his request. Worldwide, people are beginning to understand the severity of the danger to present and future generations caused by the destruction of the environment. Earthquakes pose a similar threat; thus, the proper use of methods for earthquake-resistant design and construction is vitally important for countries that are at high risk of being subjected to strong-motion earthquakes. Most seismic activity is the result of tectonic earthquakes. Tectonic earthquakes are very special events in that, although they occur frequently, their probability of becoming natural hazards for a specific urban area is very small. When a severe earthquake does occur near an urban area, however, its consequences are very large in terms of structural destruction and human suffering.
Este libro está dirigido a estudiantes de grado y postgrado, así como a ingenieros estructurales, arquitectos y otros profesionales interesados en el diseño sismorresisente de edificios. Su objetivo es el de dar a conocer parte de la cuantiosa información experimental, teórica y práctica existente en los centros de investigación sobre este tema y contribuir a la difusión de técnicas avanzadas. Por ello incluye tanto los fundamentos y técnicas de diseo convencionales, actualmente recogidos en las normativas de diversos países, como las técnicas avanzadas que sin duda serán empleadas en un futuro próximo. Además, los autores hacen diversas aportaciones, y no sólo desde el punto de vista conceptual, como la presentación de los disipadores de energía como la continuación natural de las técnicas actualmente establecidas, sino también desde el punto de vista práctico, al presentar novedosos sistemas estructurales, sistemas de aislamiento de base y de disipación de energía, junto con métodos numéricos para su simulación, así como metodologías de inteligencia artificial aplicadas al razonamiento estructural cualitativo.
This book focuses on problems encountered in areas of high risk for seismic events. It introduces the essential aspects of carrying out vulnerability assessments and applying practical measures to mitigate damage in hospitals addressing structural and nonstructural aspects as well as administrative and internal organization. In a period of only 15 years between 1981 and 1996 93 hospitals and 538 health care centers in Latin America and the Caribbean were damaged as a consequence of natural disasters. The direct cost of these disasters has been enormous; just as devastating has been the social impact of the loss of these critical facilities at a time when they were most needed. For these reasons special consideration must be given to disaster planning for these facilities. Assessing and reducing their vulnerability to natural hazards is indispensable. Principles of Disaster Mitigation in Health Facilities is an updated compilation of various documents on the topic already published by PAHO/WHO. Sections of previous publications have been revised to address the needs of professionals from a variety of disciplines particularly those involved in health facility planning operation and maintenance. Figures and photographs illustrate situations that can increase disaster vulnerability in health facilities. Examples are given of how countries in Latin America have conducted vulnerability assessments and applied specific disaster mitigation measures in their hospitals and health centers.
