Abstract

Buildings in vulnerable areas in Cuenca have been carried out for a long time. In 2018, the city's Risk directorate identified 60 sectors susceptible to movements. Due to the flexible behavior of the soils and the depth of these strata, the need arises to investigate the characteristics of the subsoil, focusing the present research on Paccha risk area, located to the east of the city. Through experimental tests, and with the application of dynamic simulations, the structure of a proposed building was analyzed. Thus, a building with a rigid foundation was studied, then considering soil-structure interaction and finally with piles. Based on the data obtained in an analysis of the level of performance in the event of a rare earthquake for the proposed cases, it can be observed that the consideration of piles, guarantees structural safety in the constructions of the studied area and therefore the tranquility of the occupants of the same.
