OLMEDO-CUEVA, José Paúl  e  HARO, Ana Gabriela. Regulatory foundation for the seismic evaluation of buildings based on resilience. Case study: reinforced concrete mid-rise building, reinforced after the Ecuador earthquake of April 16, 2016. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2023, vol.90, n.229, pp.159-169.  Epub 04-Abr-2024.

This investigation presents a seismic evaluation methodology based on resilience, with a focus on the functional recovery times of structures for public use or requiring immediate operation following a seismic event. The case study involves a seven-story reinforced concrete building that was affected by the earthquake on April 16, 2016, in Ecuador. The building underwent seismic reconditioning. The methodology includes a comprehensive assessment of potential damage to both structural and non-structural elements that may be impacted by a seismic event. Additionally, a Resilience Index was developed using a tabulated evaluation with assigned weights for different criteria. The resulting index provides a star rating reflecting the building's level of resilience. The proposed methodology aims to serve as a regional regulatory foundation, promoting resilient communities to earthquakes.

Palavras-chave : seismic resilience; seismic evaluation; functional recovery time; resilience index.
