| Abstrait: |
Hospitals are critically important buildings in case of a seism, and are therefore subject to specific structural criteria and requirements. The recent and simultaneous development of three hospitals in Chile and Nicaragua represents an excellent opportunity to apply and to assess structural design of these especially critical buildings in areas of high seismicity. The paper presents several key aspects of the structural design of hospitals in high seismicity areas, considering both requirements and criteria related to hospitals vulnerability and seismic regulations, and the analysis undertaken and the structural performance of the different projects. The purpose is to identify the main design criteria and recommended structural configurations related to the seismic performance of the structure in hospitals. |
