Seismic vulnerability in buildings of the Portoviejo city: Reflections of 16-A
Journal Title: InGenio Journal - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
There are many reflections and conclusions derived after the seismic event of April 16, 2016, an event that had a strong impact on the infrastructure of the so-called ground zero of the city of Portoviejo, in some cases reconfiguring its urban and mobility dynamics. The role of professionals is one of the aspects most questioned by the community after the damage suffered by buildings and other civil works, causing great economic and human losses. The objective of the research is to identify the seismic vulnerability to which infrastructures are exposed to earthquakes based on the experience with the 16-A earthquake, using a documentary (bibliographical) and field (survey) research methodology, applied to the actors of the construction sector. The results obtained show that the aforementioned sector, with all its implicit branches, requires constant training and updating of knowledge and modern construction techniques.
