La aproximación de una evaluación analítica a un efecto sísmico real: el caso del templo de Santa Lucía, SCLC, Chiapas

Abstract

Este Informe muestra los resultados de la comparación entre la respuesta estructural y daños registrados de monumentos históricos (iglesias y templos) sujetos a movimientos sísmicos en México y la obtenida de un modelo analítico. El caso de estudio es la iglesia de Santa Lucía, en San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas, zona de alta sismicidad. ____ This report presents the results from the structural response and recorded damages to historical monuments (churches and temples) subject to seismic movements in Mexico and those from an analytical model. The case study is the Temple of Santa Lucía, located in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, an area of high seismic activity. The methodology implemented the finite element method, analyzing the temple under different seismic intensities with return intervals of 30, 100, 500,and 1000 years. On September 7, 2017, a powerful earthquake struck Mexico achieving an acceleration of 500 gal in areas near the epicenter. The damages caused to the temple coincided with those predicted in the research work.
