Influence of Irregular Configurations in the Damage of RC Buildings in 2010 Chilean (Maule) Earthquake
Abstract eng: In the 27 February 2010, Chilean (Maule) Earthquake, there were many R.C. buildings severely damaged, specially in structural walls with irregularities. On the base of data of 83 high rise buildings inspected after the earthquake, geometrical and structured indexes were devised to show that (a) almost all the building that had severe damage had a set back in the first floor where they had a less robust wall system than the iconic Tajamar Building, however many building in similar situation behaved well; (b) the Chilean buildings have large reserve of shear capacity; and (c) irregularities in walls are not properly designed.
