Earthquake resistant structure system of the Waullac ruins in Huaraz -Perú, 2023

Abstract

This research aimed to understand the earthquake-resistant structural system of the ruins of Waullac in Huaraz - Perú, 2023. The methodology has non experimental, descriptive and transversal design, the population is made up of the ruins of Huaraz, with  non probabilistic sample. The technique and data collection format was observation and information on the material, shape and size was collected using a form; For the results, the E.030 earthquake resistant design standard was used. The results describe, the ruins are composed of earth, stones and vegetation. Stones with average measurements: type 1 diameter 6cm; type 2 diameter between 17-35cm; type 3 thickness 2-6cm with length 30cm and width 20cm; type 4 large stone thickness 32cm, width 46,6cm and length 1,2m; type 5 extra large stones of 1,70-4,10m. The structural system of the Waullac ruins is made up of four structural components: foundation, on foundation, walls and roof. In conclusion, the ruins dissipate seismic energy through contact stress and movement between the structural components; They comply with the philosophy of the E 030 standard, present stability, do not collapse, withstand earthquakes and prevent loss of life. It is concluded that the ruins of Waullac have an earthquake resistant structure system.
