Análisis de la norma ecuatoriana de la construcción NEC-2015 y verificación física y normativa en la ciudad de Cuenca

Abstract

The present study aims to determine the level of compliance of the Ecuadorian Construction Standard (NEC_2015) in dwellings up to two floors in the city of Cuenca, focused on builds with structural systems resistant to moments in reinforced concrete. To do this, a review and theoretical compilation of the NEC-2015 rule is carried out, putting special emphasis on chapter 10 referred to “Viviendas de hasta 2 pisos con luces de hasta 5 metros”; These data are compared with information obtained In SITU of 6 dwellings in the city of Cuenca previously selected by the research project “Método de certificación de la construcción sustentable de la vivienda” of the University of Cuenca. These analyzes will allow us to evaluate the earthquake-resistant and constructive characteristics of the buildings and obtain results of the level of compliance that each case study has; In addition, a system of reinforcement is proposed that can be applied in housing that does not comply with the requirements of the regulations.
