Earthquake Engineering, Seismic Vulnerability Assessment and Seismic Rehabilitation in Colombia
Abstract The tectonics and seismicity of northwestern South America are presented. The construction types prevalent in Colombia are discussed. A brief description of the Colombian earthquake resistant regulations is given. The behavior of buildings during earthquakes previous to the Code enactment is presented. The accelerographic records obtained during the January 25 1999 earthquake are described and the building damage caused by the earthquake is discussed. Code compliance and enforcement are discussed. Issues associated with seismic vulnerability assessment and building retrofit in Colombia are presented.
