Tesis doctoral de Janira Irizarry Padilla
During this work three principal parts had been developed: a seismic hazard assessment for catalonia and barcelona in particular, a vulnerability evaluation of the principal monuments of barcelona city and the exposure analysis of its urban system. seismic hazard was evaluated in terms of intensity for the deterministic approach and spectral acceleration for both the deterministic and probabilistic approaches by applying the spectral acceleration attenuation relationship. site effects were also included. Then seismic hazard maps, acceleration response and demand spectra with soil effects were obtained for the city of barcelona. the vulnerability assessment for the principal monuments in the city of barcelona was carried out in two levels. Those monuments with the highest level of protection due to their heritage value (a total of 68 out of over 3000) were analyzed using the vulnerability index method. Then, the vulnerability of a representative monument, the santa maría del mar church, was evaluated using capacity spectrum method. The capacity curve of the santa maria del mar church was obtained dividing the church in macroelements. The capacity curve was evaluated for the most vulnerable of the macroelements using finite element analysis and equilibrium limit analysis. The expected damages were obtained using the probabilistic and deterministic scenarios in terms of spectral acceleration and then were compared to the historical seismic damage suffered by the church. finally an urban exposure analysis was carried out for the city of barcelona based on the available information at the time of this work. The exposure of the following elements was analyzed: residential area, economical activities, commercial activities, industrial activities, tourism activities, hospital services, educational facilities, and some emergency resources. Zones that are critical, important or secondary for the well functioning of these elements at risk
