Seismic Risk Assessment of Peruvian Public School Buildings Using FEMA P-154 Rapid Visual ScreeningCardenas, Omar, Farfan, Aaron, Huaco, Guillermo 30 September 2020 (has links)
El texto completo de este trabajo no está disponible en el Repositorio Académico UPC por restricciones de la casa editorial donde ha sido publicado. / Peru is located in a high seismicity region, since is on the subduction zone between the tectonic plates of Nazca and South American, both belonging to the Pacific's Ring of Fire. Peru is a developing country, so it is of the utmost importance that the Peruvian Government is prepared to assist the thousands of casualties that may be in the face of an important seismic event. Hence seismic risk assessment of essential buildings such as schools and hospitals is necessary for structural reinforcement projects in this type of infrastructure. In this scientific article, it is shown how vulnerable the public schools of the district of San Juan de Miraflores in the city of Lima are to a seismic event. Hence FEMA P-154 Rapid Visual Screening methodology was used to assess actual condition of school infrastructure which can be used as refuge for casualties or local headquarters to emergency response. The results of the research conclude that most educational buildings present a high seismic risk and do not meet the requirements of post-earthquake use as required by the Peruvian Seismic Design Building Code.

Development of rapid visual screening tool for seismic evaluation of wood-frame dwellingsLucksiri, Kraisorn 21 March 2012 (has links)
During the past several decades, earthquakes have caused extensive damage to
buildings, including wood-frame, single-family dwellings, in the United States. In
order to mitigate future losses, existing buildings in earthquake prone areas should be
evaluated for their seismic safety. This is also an important issue for buildings in
Oregon due to the Cascadia subduction zone along its west coast.
One seismically vulnerable element observed in wood-frame, single-family dwellings
is the shear walls. In general, assessment of shear wall seismic performance can be
accomplished by a building-specific engineering calculation. Extra effort is required if
the effects of plan irregularity are a concern. This project aims to facilitate seismic
evaluation of wood-frame dwellings by proposing a new engineering-based rapid
visual screening method to examine the expected performance level of the structure's
exterior shear walls to resist lateral forces from ground motions, including torsional
forces induced from plan irregularity.
In order to achieve the objective, SAPWood software was used to perform a series of
nonlinear time-history analyses for 480 representative models, covering different
combinations of shape parameters and shear wall opening-related parameters. The evolutionary parameter hysteresis model was used to represent the load-displacement
relationship of structural panel-sheathed shear walls and a ten parameter CUREE
hysteresis model for gypsum wallboard sheathed walls. The calculated maximum
lateral drifts were used as basic information for the development of the new method.
Through the development process, the significance of both plan configuration and
shear wall openings were emphasized as they affect the overall seismic performance
of a building through building mass, lateral stiffnesses, and eccentricities. Within the
study range, single-family dwellings with two stories, a larger percentage of openings,
and having a garage door were shown to be more vulnerable to seismic events. Plan
configuration and shear wall openings were important features especially in houses
located in high 1 (0.5g ≤ S[subscript a] < 1.0g) and high 2 (1.0g ≤ S[subscript a] < 1.5g) seismicity regions, as
they could potentially lead to severe damage. For low and moderate seismicity, the
performance ranges from satisfying the collapse prevention limit to the immediate
occupancy limit.
The developed piRVS (plan irregularity Rapid Visual Screening) takes into
consideration the shape of the floor plan, number of stories, base rectangular area,
percent cutoff, and openings from doors/windows and garage doors, and supports
evaluation at the immediate occupancy (IO), life safety (LS), and collapse prevention
(CP) performance levels. The piRVS provides relatively more conservative
assessment results than FEMA 154 and ASCE 31 Tier 1. Its prediction for the two
applicable Northridge earthquake damage samples is reasonable. This method will
help architects, engineers, building officials, and trained inspectors in examining the
expected seismic performance of shear walls, considering the effects of plan
irregularity in wood-frame, single-family dwellings / Graduation date: 2012

Análisis de riesgo sísmico de colegios públicos de San Juan de Miraflores mediante la metodología de Rapid Visual Screening y evaluación del desempeño sísmico con análisis no-lineales del pabellón 780 PreCardenas Angeles, Omar Percy, Farfán Bonett, Aaron Gabriel 16 January 2021 (has links)
Perú se localiza en una zona de alta sismicidad, debido a que se encuentra encima del área de subducción entre la placa tectónica de Nazca y Sudamericana, perteneciente al cinturón de fuego del Pacífico. Perú es un país en vía de desarrollo, por lo que es de suma importancia estar preparados para auxiliar a los miles de damnificados que pueda haber ante un evento sísmico importante. La evaluación del riesgo sísmico de edificaciones esenciales como colegios y hospitales es necesario para trabajos de reforzamiento estructural en este tipo de infraestructura. En el presente artículo científico, se presenta cuán vulnerables son los colegios públicos del distrito de San Juan de Miraflores en la ciudad de Lima ante un evento sísmico. Para ello, se utilizó la metodología de Inspección Visual Rápida del FEMA P-154. Además, se analizó de forma cuantitativa el pabellón 780 Pre, un módulo educativo estandarizado y construido en los años noventa cuya presencia es frecuente en dicho distrito. Para ello, se realizó un análisis no-lineal estático y no-lineal dinámico. Los resultados de la investigación concluyen que la mayoría de las edificaciones educativas presentan una alta vulnerabilidad sísmica y no cumplen con los requerimientos de uso post-sismo como se exige en la norma sismorresistente; así como también se verificó la deficiencia del módulo 780 Pre frente a un sismo severo cuando este fue sometido a los análisis no-lineales. / Peru is located in a high seismicity zone because it is set above the subduction area between the Nazca and South American tectonic plates, both belonging to the Pacific’s Ring of Fire. Being a developing country, it is of utmost importance to be prepared to help the thousands of victims that may be in the face of a major seismic event. The assessment of the seismic vulnerability of essential buildings —such as schools and hospitals— is necessary for structural reinforcement procedures in this type of infrastructure if needed. In this thesis, it is presented how vulnerable are the public schools of the district of San Juan de Miraflores in the city of Lima to a seismic event. For this, the FEMA P-154 Rapid Visual Screening methodology was used. In addition, the “780 Pre” public school building, a standardized educational building built in the 1990s and whose presence is frequent in that district, was analyzed quantitatively. For this, a static nonlinear and dynamic nonlinear analysis were performed. The results of the investigation show that most of the educational buildings present high seismic vulnerability and do not meet the requirements of post-earthquake use as required by the Peruvian seismic design provisions. Also, the deficiency of the 780 Pre building against a severe earthquake when it was subjected to non-linear analyzes was verified. / Tesis
