    Local seismic response analysis based on the non-linear soil behavior
    (Santo Domingo : Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo, 2023) Marmolejos, Rafael; Germoso, Marmolejos; Omarbekova, Alnura
    This study evaluates the local seismic response of 5 essential structures in the city of Santiago (Dom. Rep.), through a clearly non-linear soil analysis, based on the hyperbolic model of MKZ (Matasovic-Konder-Zelasko) [2]. It is intended to estimate the behavior that these structures will have against different earthquakes and probabilities of exceedance, which will allow us to deduce if the appropriate local considerations are being followed in the design of this type of structure, based on the seismic hazard of the area. The results is reflected in response spectra and time histories on the ground surface for different earthquakes and for each return period. Based on this study and the characteristics of the structures found on the site, it will allow us to conclude if it presents any seismic risk and if the necessary considerations are being taken in the structural design.
