The City

The city of Quito lies on geological faults that have no surface outcrop but are moving with a speed of 2-4 mm per year. The last strong earthquake associated with these thrust faults, was rec-orded in 1587 and had a magnitude of 6.4; so it has been more than 400 years, there is a large amount of stored energy, and the probability of an earthquake occurring is very high. Therefore, this article presents, firstly, the periods of recurrence of these faults; then a microzoning of the north central part of the city and the elastic response spectra for 5% damped associated to the Llumbisi- La Bota segment fault, ILB. And subsequently, an analysis of nine steel structures from one to nine storeys assuming that they are situated in the following three areas of north central Quito: the old Quito Tenis; La Gasca and Benalcazar High School. Using the Capacity Spectrum Method MEC, the seismic response is found with the presence of three spectrums as prescribed in the Ecuadorian Construction Regula-tions NEC-11; the recommendation in the study of the seismic microzoning of Quito ERN-12 and those found in the seismic microzoning associated with the fault ILB. Three types of responses are indicated for each location, the structures situated in the old Quito Tenis present a performance point found using the Capacity Spectrum Method MEC; for those in La Gasca, a maximum lateral displacement is indicated in each storey; and the structures situated in the Benalcazar High School present maximum interstorey drifts. It should be highlighted that the lateral displacements and interstorey drifts are reaching the end of their performance, thus the conclusions to be found in this study about which spectrum the maximum response has could be inferred from any of the three structural parameters.

Nonlinear Static

In recent years a number of nonlinear static procedures (NSPs) have been developed and proposed. Such pushover-based seismic assessment procedures are relatively straightforward to employ and are generally chosen over nonlinear dynamic analysis, especially within the realm of design office application. Parametric comparisons between the different NSPs available, however, are still somewhat sparse. In this work, five commonly employed NSPs (the N2 method, capacity spectrum method, modal pushover analysis, adaptive modal combination procedure, and the adaptive capacity spectrum method) are applied in the assessment of 16 frames subjected to a large number of input motions with a view to assess the accuracy level of such approaches through comparison with nonlinear dynamic analysis results. The evaluation shows that all the NSPs are able to accurately predict displacements and to produce reasonable estimates for other response parameters, with limited dispersion. Even though no single NSP tested led to consistently superior results, modal pushover analysis and the adaptive capacity spectrum method seemed to perform slightly better.
