Description
Summary:The comparative analysis focuses on investigating the discrepancies between the E.030 regulations of 2003 and 2018 in relation to anti-seismic design. This study is carried out in the context of structural wall structures intended for an Educational Center located in the city of La Libertad. Several important aspects are contrasted, such as vibration periods, percentage of participating mass, design spectrum, deformation and various forces, such as static and dynamic basal shear force, in addition to maximum design forces, such as moment bending, shear and axial force.Using the Etabs v.20 software to model the structures, significant variations in the results were observed when applying the standards according to the year 2003 and 2018. It is relevant to note that the 2018 regulations produce intermediate results in terms of modal periods for both. structures, both in static and dynamic analysis. In summary, it is shown that changes in regulations have a notable influence on the design and seismic response of structures, especially those with irregularities, and it is essential to take these aspects into account when carrying out structural analysis and design.
