Alerta en la región tras los sismos en Venezuela: La normativa para construir en terrenos sísmicos

#chile #venezuela #kast [00:50] 🌍 Important differences in seismic regulations between Chile and Venezuela. [02:30] 🧱 Chile primarily uses highly confined concrete walls to resist earthquakes. [04:50] ⚡ Structural design based on seismic intensity, not magnitude. [06:30] 🛡️ Use of seismic isolators and dampers to protect structures. [08:50] 📈 Regulatory changes after the 2010 Chilean earthquake to improve resistance. [11:20] 🌱 Influence of soil type on the amplification of seismic motion (resonance). [15:00] ✅ Importance of oversight, inspection, and independent review to ensure compliance with regulations. Cristian Cruz, a civil engineering professor, explains the differences in building codes and practices between Chile and Venezuela regarding the seismic resistance of structures. He highlights that Chile, a country historically prone to earthquakes, has developed very strict regulations that prioritize rigidity and limit deformations in buildings to prevent collapses. Although Venezuela has regulations similar to those of the United States, these are less stringent in terms of permissible deformations, which can contribute to greater structural damage. Furthermore, Cruz emphasizes the importance not only of the regulations themselves, but also of their strict compliance and supervision during construction—elements that can fail in other countries, as evidenced by the collapse of buildings in Turkey and Venezuela after recent earthquakes. The professor details structural design based on seismic intensities and the implementation of modern systems such as seismic isolators and dampers, which help reduce damage by concentrating or dissipating earthquake energy. It also discusses the evolution of Chilean building codes following the 2010 earthquake, which led to improved concrete confinement in walls and enhanced safety in tall buildings. It explains how soil characteristics and location influence the intensity of seismic activity, emphasizing the importance of geotechnical analysis prior to any construction. Finally, it mentions the need for a comprehensive seismic awareness culture that includes appropriate standards, independent review of structural calculations, and effective oversight to prevent disasters. 🔴 Latest News from Latin America 📺 700 | 1700 @DIRECTVLA 📺 22 | Telecentro 📺 570 | Flow 📺 514 | Claro 📲 @DGO_LATAM 🔴 +DNEWS +LIVE Schedules 🇦🇷 🇨🇱 🇺🇾 6 to 8 AM DNews at Dawn 8 AM to 12 PM DNews in the Morning 12 to 2 PM DNews First Edition 2 to 8 PM DNews in the Afternoon 8 to 10 PM DNews Central Schedules 🇨🇴 🇪🇨 🇵🇪 4 to 6 AM DNews at Dawn 6 to 10 AM DNews in the Morning 10 AM to 12 PM DNews First Edition 12 to 6 PM DNews in the Afternoon 6 to 8 PM DNews Central Follow us on our social media: X   / dnewsok   Instagram   / dnewsok   Facebook   / dnewsok   Threads https://www.threads.net/@dnewsok TikTok   / dnewsok   We are DNews.
