In this region, almost 50% of the people lives in adobe houses and is recognized as high poverty zone. Both reasons mentioned before are mandatory to look and find out economical solutions to improve the seismic capacity of those dwellings, to mitigate the seismic damage and save people. In this work, the seismic behavior of mortar strip reinforced adobe houses is studied. This type of retrofitting is relatively economic and efficient because is applied in the structural critical zones of the house, like the union of walls and the high perimeter ring. Taking account the house typology, very similar in several countries of LatinAmerica, some laboratory test were performed to determine earthquake resistant properties. Those properties were used to build 3D finite element models of adobe houses. With the use of information about observed adobe houses seismic damage, a vulnerability function is proposed and applied to predict the scenario of damage of reinforced adobe houses on the south of Mexico, for some periods of return of the seismic activity. 000011529 540__ $$aText je chráněný podle autorského zákona č. 121/2000 Sb. 000011529 653__ $$a Seismic evaluation, adobe houses, vulnerability function. 000011529 7112_ $$a14th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering$$cBejing (CN)$$d2008-10-12 / 2008-10-17$$gWCEE15 000011529 720__ $$aSalgado-Rodríguez, Alberto$$iSotres, Ramón$$iGuinto-Herrera, Esteban R.$$iArroyo-Matus, Roberto$$iAcevedo-Morales, Hugo$$iCapistrano-García, Angel$$iCapistrano-García, Salomón 000011529 8560_ $$ffischerc@itam.cas.cz 000011529 8564_ $$s545551$$uhttps://invenio.itam.cas.cz/record/11529/files/09-02-0004.pdf$$yOriginal version of the author's contribution as presented on CD, Paper ID: 09-02-0004. 000011529 962__ $$r9324 000011529 980__ $$aPAPER
