Definition of Criteria for the Appraisal of the Construction in Seismic Areas of Argentina

Abstract eng:
This paper presents the analysis in its most relevant aspects of two modern buildings of San Juan city. It considers their architectural and structural design as well as their conditions regarding their surroundings. Two phases have been differentiated in the evaluation process: One phase consists in the study of the physical vulnerability of the buildings, identifying the relation between the potential seismic behavior of the buildings studied and the assumed seismic danger in the qualitative and quantitative way. The other phase corresponds to the study of the architectural space configuration, identifying the variable and characteristics of the modern movement. Once we analyzed the aspects that form the Architectural Design, we made a diagnostic of the condition of the building conservation for each of the buildings studied for the Structural Design and the conditions of them. This was done in order to define parameters that would determine its building value, which will be later integrated into a provincial database to formulate criteria for the preservation of Patrimonial Buildings of areas with high seismic risks in Argentina.
