Abstract

The historical record of the intensity and magnitude of earthquakes indicates that seismic shocks on structures can cause considerable damage and even collapse when they collide, if the separation distance between them is not sufficient. This study aims to evaluate the impact of seismic shock on 2 adjacent reinforced concrete structures of 6 and 3 stories, located in the district of Cajamarca, performing a nonlinear time-history analysis, in order to hit the adjacent structures that present different heights; through the use of Etabs V. 20.1, SeismoSignal and SeismoMatch software, in addition to the Technical Norms E. 0.20, E. 0.30 and E. 0.60; as well as the national regulations on buildings. The acceleration records used for the analysis of the time-history factor were from the province of San Ignacio, scaled with a spectral acceleration according to standard E. 030. The results were analyzed with and without seismic joint, obtained in the form of displacement, floor shear, drift and impact force. Taller buildings suffered greater damage than smaller buildings when the shaking occurred.
