Reforzamiento con aisladores sísmicos en la base del edificio San Agustín (Ministerio de Hacienda y Crédito Público)

Abstract

This document deals a very important topic about buildings around the world in particular to the Ministerio de Hacienda y Crédito Público’s building from Bogotá city (San Agustín Building), as seismic vulnerability protection and decrease that are displayed public patrimony’s buildings. Beginning from the studies and investigations by the adviser company Consultoría y Construcciones Civiles Ltda. we decided to design 322 seismic isolators in the building’s base as a seismic protection system in the presence of possible events that can show around the comes years. After an exercise to compare between seismic answers from a embed system, an high dumping rubbing “HDR” and a lead bearing rubbing “LRB”, we decided for the last one because is the less robust and it has the best comportment. Finally, we give some general building recommendations to apply the LRB isolator system for the San Agustín’s building with the general estimate from the market’s actual costs.
