Abstract
Tras el terremoto que azotó la región suroeste de Puerto Rico los días 6 y 7 de enero de 2020, se evidenció la considerable vulnerabilidad de diversas estructuras para hacer frente a eventos telúricos. Estructuras gubernamentales, escuelas, hospitales, coliseos y residencias, entre otros, fueron severamente afectados. Miles de residentes en Guánica, Guayanilla, Yauco, Peñuelas, Ponce y Utuado quedaron literalmente desamparados en la calle. Este proyecto enfoca las estructuras residenciales, las cuales, gran porcentaje de ellas han sido construidas sin la intervención de profesionales en la ingeniería. El proyecto pretende proveer una alternativa de residencia, económicamente accesible, que provea seguridad física y tranquilidad emocional a aquellos que la acojan. De modo que aún azotada por un evento sísmico máximo esperado, la misma se mantenga habitable inmediatamente luego del mismo. Con estos propósitos en mente el proyecto provee los planos arquitectónicos y estructurales; y un estimado de costo razonable.
Following an earthquake on January 6 and 7 of 2020 that hit the southwest region of Puerto Rico, the considerable vulnerability to our structures to face a telluric event was obvious. Schools, hospitals, residences, among others, were severely affected. Thousands of residents in Guánica, Guayanilla, Yauco, Peñuelas, Ponce and Utuado were literally left homeless on the streets. The project focuses on residential structures, which, a great proportion where built without the intervention of professional engineers. The project intends to offer an alternative economically accessible residence that will create physical security and emotional peace to those who receive it. Even if hit by a maximum seismic event, it will remain safe to live after the earthquake. The intention of this project is to create an architectural and structural layout, and sensible cost estimation.
