Master's student in the School of Civil Engineering and Mines at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) David Martínez Díaz presented their work in late July Final Master 'Study of the influence of short pillars in the structural seismic response buildings', which analyzes the influence of the short pillars in the structural behavior of buildings during an earthquake.
The work, which was directed by Anthony Thomas Espin and quantifies the increase experienced in buildings that have this type of pillars in the same buildings but assuming you do not have effort, highlights the earthquake of 11th May 2011 in Lorca led efforts on the pillars of the buildings of between two and three times the expected seismic regulations.
Research conducted by Martínez also examines the separation that must exist between buildings to avoid hitting each other during an earthquake, and concludes with some recommendations for avoiding the phenomenon-effect "short pillar" that occurs in pillars of a structure when a surface element restricts the possibility of deformation of the pillar of its length producing a tension that can cause the pillar to crack or rompa-, thus minimizing the impact of earthquakes on buildings.
