Análisis de tipología estructural y estimación del índice de vulnerabilidad sísmica como alarma temprano en las iglesias de la ciudad de Tunja.

Abstract

The objective of this research project is to carry out a preliminary diagnosis of the current state of the Churches of the city of Tunja through preliminary visual inspections, plant survey, in order to estimate the seismic vulnerability index of each building through the Benedetti-Petrini vulnerability scale and additionally the generation of a geographic information system with the information collected. On this basis lies the uncertainty that exists regarding the safety of these structures, due to their social and cultural meaning since they house hundreds of people, related to the fact that these buildings are in an intermediate seismic zone, increasing the probability of the occurrence of strong earthquakes, this is why it is essential to know the percentage of human and material losses that can be affected by a seismic event, in relation to the current state of these structures. On the other hand, it seeks to know the current state of service and structural typology of these buildings, based on parameters such as year of construction, irregularity in plan and height, quality of design and construction, presence of more obvious injuries in their interior and facade. , recorded during field visits, photographic survey, and some parameters or minimum requirements contemplated in the Colombian Construction Regulations for Earthquake Resistant.
