  La ciudad de Portoviejo cuenta desde el 2017 con espectros de diseño específicos resultados del estudio de microzonificación sísmica del cantón. Esta investigación se origina por el escaso uso que se da a los espectros de diseño indicados en el estudio de microzonificación por parte de calculistas estructurales, quienes continúan usando los espectros que se indican en la Norma Ecuatoriana de la Construcción del 2015 para analizar y diseñar las estructuras, tanto de hormigón armado como de acero estructural. El objetivo de esta investigación es medir las variaciones de desplazamientos laterales y esfuerzos globales en estructuras aporticadas de hormigón armado mediante un análisis sísmico, empleando tanto los espectros de la norma ecuatoriana como los espectros de la microzonificación sísmica de Portoviejo. Se analizaron seis estructuras, tres de ellas regulares en planta y en elevación, las cuales eran de tres, cinco y ocho niveles de altura y otras tres estructuras irregulares de tres y dos niveles. Las estructuras fueron modeladas en Etabs, y se usó el análisis sísmico modal espectral en que se variaba el espectro de diseño. En cuanto a los espectros de la microzonificación se usaron los indicados para las microzonas M4 y M5 mientras que los espectros de la norma considerados corresponden a la zona sísmica VI en suelos tipo D y E consistentes con los tipos de suelo de las microzonas M4 y M5. Adicionalmente se evaluó la variación del área de aceros de refuerzo en elementos principales. De este esta investigación se puede concluir que: i) en las estructuras de dos, tres y cinco niveles, los desplazamientos se amplificaron al emplear los espectros de la microzonificación sísmica, la microzona 4 entrega el mayor valor. En la estructura de ocho niveles los espectros de la norma dan los mayores desplazamientos. ii) en la estructura de ocho niveles los mayores esfuerzos de corte y momento se presentaron al emplear los espectros de la norma ecuatoriana de la construcción. iii) al diseñar las estructuras los resultados no presentaron una variación significativa, se obtuvo una mínima diferencia en cuanto a los aceros de refuerzos longitudinales. iv) en la ciudad de Portoviejo, las estructuras construidas con frecuencia no superan los tres niveles y al ser diseñadas con los espectros de la norma se estaría subestimando la aceleración sísmica de diseño. Se recomienda el uso de los espectros de la microzonificación, que son resultado de un trabajo específico para las condiciones de la ciudad.   Palabras claves: Microzonificación Sísmica, Espectros de Diseño, Análisis Sísmico, Diseño Sísmico.   Abstract— The Portoviejo city has since 2017 with specific design spectrum results of the study of seismic microzoning in the canton. This research originates from the limited use given to the design spectrum indicated in the microzonation study by structural engineers, who continue to use the spectrum indicated in the 2015 Ecuadorian Construction Standard to analyze and design the structures, both reinforced concrete and structural steel. The objective of this investigation is to measure the variations of lateral displacements and global efforts in structures provided with reinforced concrete to be analyzed seismically using both the spectrum of the ecuadorian norms and the spectrum of the seismic microzoning of Portoviejo. Six structures were analyzed, three of them regular in plan and elevation, which were three, five and eight levels high and three other irregular structures of three and two levels. The structures were modeled in Etabs, and the spectral modal seismic analysis was used, varying the design spectrum. Regarding the microzonation spectrum, those indicated for microzones M4 and M5 were used, while the spectrum of the standard considered correspond to seismic zone VI in soils type D and E consistent with the soil types of microzones M4 and M5. Additionally, the variation of the area of reinforcement steels in main elements was evaluated. From this research it can be concluded that: i) in the structures of two, three and five levels, the displacements were amplified by using the spectrum of the seismic microzonation, the microzone 4 generated the highest value. In the eight-level structure the spectrum of the norm give the greatest displacements. ii) in the eight-level structure the greatest cutting and momentum efforts were presented when using the spectrum of the Ecuadorian construction standard. iii) when designing the structures, the results did not show a significant variation, a minimum difference was obtained regarding the longitudinal reinforcement steels. iv) in the city of Portoviejo, the structures built frequently do not exceed three levels and being designed with the spectrum of the standard would be underestimating the seismic acceleration of design. The use of microzonation spectra is recommended, which are the result of specific work for city conditions.   Keywords: Seismic microzonation, Design spectrum, Seismic Analysis, Seismic Design.

Confined Masonry (CM) structural system consists of masonry walls enclosed by reinforced concrete (RC) confining elements (tie-columns and tie-beams) and is usually supported by reinforced concrete floors and roof. This technology has been widely used for construction of low-and medium-rise buildings in Latin America, Europe, South Asia, and Middle East, and it has a proven record of good performance in damaging earthquakes. CM construction is not currently practiced in India and is not addressed by Indian design codes. Seismic analysis of CM wall panels can be performed using Wide Column Model (WCM), also known as Equivalent Frame Model. WCM is a macro model where a wall structure and the supporting floors and roof are idealized as a bare frame. CM walls can be modelled as wide columns with transformed section properties accounting for composite action of masonry and RC tie-columns. Beams in these bare frames have rigid segments simulating the effect of wall stiffness, and flexible segments that simulate the effect of floor and roof slabs. WCM has been recognized as a viable model for seismic analysis of CM buildings in Latin American countries, however this model is not well known in India. The results presented in this paper are based on linear elastic analyses of typical multi-storey CM solid walls and walls with openings. The output parameters include shear forces, bending moments, stiffness, and lateral displacements. A comparison of the results obtained using the WCM and the Finite Element Method (FEM) has been presented. WCM can be useful for seismic analysis of CM buildings since it does not require significant computational effort and can be applied using a variety of software packages.

The main aim of the paper is to present an analysis to study on non-linear seismic analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) framed buildings as per the provisions of Indian code IS1893-2016 to evaluate the response of the building configurations depending upon the section sizes of the horizontal members; beams and as per variation in its cross-sectional area. The response of buildings has been noted in terms of quantities as the time period of buildings.Indian seismic code IS 1893 has been employed for the design provisions of the seismic analysis and the structures have been evaluated for seismic zone II. The design software STAAD.Pro has been used for the dynamic analysis.The response of the structure under lateral force system, induced due to seismic activities is must be analysed to understand the behaviour of structure under dynamic forces. The paper evaluates the most common but important response factors of the structure which are most important in the design of building. The paper also shows the detailed results of the time period of buildings for various building configuration. The evaluated results have been tabulated and analysed with the help of a comparative study of the obtained data. The work is useful for better understanding of the performance of the reinforced concrete buildings as per the different sizes and sections and stiffness of the beam elements.

Performance-based seismic design (PBSD) has been recognized as a framework for designing new buildings in the United States in recent years. Various guidelines and standards have been developed to codify and document the implementation of PBSD, including “ Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Buildings” (ASCE 41-17), the Tall Buildings Initiative’s Guidelines for Performance-Based Seismic Design of Tall Buildings (TBI Guidelines), and the Los Angeles Tall Buildings Structural Design Council’s An Alternative Procedure for Seismic Analysis and Design of Tall Buildings Located in the Los Angeles Region (LATBSDC Procedure). The main goal of these documents is to regularize the implementation of PBSD for practicing engineers. These documents were developed independently with experts from varying backgrounds and organizations and consequently have differences in several degrees from basic intent to the details of the implementation. As the main objective of PBSD is to ensure a specified building performance, these documents would be expected to provide similar recommendations for achieving a given performance objective for new buildings. This article provides a detailed comparison among each document’s implementation of PBSD for reinforced concrete buildings, with the goal of highlighting the differences among these documents and identifying provisions in which the designed building may achieve varied performance depending on the chosen standard/guideline. This comparison can help committees developing these documents to be aware of their differences, investigate the sources of their divergence, and bring these documents closer to common ground in future cycles.

In the present work we discuss on the seismic vulnerability of reinforced concrete existing buildings. In particular we consider a reinforced concrete building originally designed for only gravitational loads and located in a zone recently defined at seismic risk. According to the Italian seismic code NTC 2008 a displacement based approach is adopted and the N2-method is considered for the nonlinear seismic analysis. In the analysis all the masonry infill panels in effective interaction with the structural frame are considered for the nonlinear modeling of the structure. The influence of the effective masonry infills on the seismic response of the structure is analyzed and it is discussed how the effect of the masonry infills irregularly located within the building can give rise to a worsening of the seismic performance of the structure. It is shown that in the present case a not uniform positioning of the masonry infills within the building can give rise to a fragile structural behavior in the collapse mechanism. Furthermore a comparative analysis is performed by considering both the structure with the effective masonry infills and the bare structural frame. For these two structures a pushover analysis is performed, the relative capacity curves are derived and it is shown that fragile collapse mechanisms can occur depending on the irregular positioning of the effective masonry infills. Accordingly it is discussed how in the present case a decoupling of the effective masonry infills from the structural frame can give rise to a smoother response of the capacity curves. For the examined case of an obsolete building with irregular positioning of the masonry panels, the choice of decoupling the effective masonry panels from the structural frame may facilitate the retrofitting strategies for the achievement of the proper safety factors at the examined limit states.

Nowadays, as in the urban areas the space available for the construction of buildings is limited. So in limited space we have to construct such type of buildings which can be used for multiple purposes such as lobbies, car parking etc. To fulfill this demand, high rise buildings is the only option available. The performance of a high rise building during strong earthquake motion depends on the distribution of stiffness, strength and mass along both the vertical and horizontal directions. If there is discontinuity in stiffness, strength and mass between adjoining storeys of a building then such a building is known as irregular building. The present study focuses on the seismic performance of regular and vertical irregular building with and without masonary infills. In the present study G+11 building is considered for the analysis with modelling and analysis done on ETABS software v17.0.1. The earthquake forces are calculated as per IS 1893 (part 1): 2016 for seismic zone III. The width of strut is calculated by using equivalent diagonal strut method. Total five models are considered for the analysis i.e. regular building with bare frame, regular building with masonary infill, soft storey building with open ground storey, mass irregular building with masonary infill and vertical geometric irregular building with masonary infill. The non-linear static analysis (pushover analysis) and linear dynamic analysis (response spectrum analysis) are performed for all the models and thereby compare their results. From analysis, the parameters like performance point, time period, maximum storey displacement, maximum storey drifts, storey shears and overturning moments are determined and also comparative study is done for all the models. From the comparison, it is observed that the vertical geometric irregular building shows better performance under seismic loading and bare frame building shows inferior performance. Moreover, the performance of masonary infilled frame building is f
