Abstract

Seismic events for decades have caused great prejudice to countries causing human and economic losses due to the collapse of houses, therefore the relevance of this research lies in offering a management model with processes to identify the seismic vulnerabilities of houses and validate the correlation between whether there is dependence between the Knowledge of the Management Model with Processes and its application (hypothesis). A mixed method (quantitative and qualitative) is presented, generating reliable and concise results, issuing Chi-Square values to prove that they are greater than 0.05, implying a very weak or low dependence relationship. Consequently, it is concluded with a confidence level of 95%, indicating the way in which the knowledge of the model is developed and its application, has very little dependence in the local governments of the Moquegua Region, since they do not know the proposed model.

Highlights

  • In Latin America, there are earthquakes or seismic events caused by structural damage in the layers of the earth, causing human and economic losses, among others (Moncayo et al.,2017)

  • After applying the corresponding analysis process to the survey and providing an answer to the first objective of the research, the results showed that the level of interest in using the model is evident, with 96.77% of high acceptance in the application of the process management model to identify seismic vulnerability by local governments

  • A model validated by experts based on process management was obtained so that the persons in charge of identifying the seismic vulnerability of housing in an area can determine their degree of risk

Summary

Introduction

In Latin America, there are earthquakes or seismic events caused by structural damage in the layers of the earth, causing human and economic losses, among others (Moncayo et al.,2017). This region is considered to be at high risk of earthquakes due to the subduction of the tectonic plates that converge in the country, including the Nazca Plate (Oceanic) under the South American Plate (Continental). It is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, an area of volcanic activity. It is important to mention that the seismic vulnerability of housing is a set of parameters (year of construction, height, type of housing and irregularities in plan and elevation) capable of predicting the type of structural damage, the failure mode and the carrying capacity of a structure under probable seismic conditions (Preciado et al, 2020) and (Escamirosa et al, 2018)
