This study evaluates the influence of structural slenderness on the seismic response of buildings equipped with ADAS, TADAS and SLB hysteretic dissipaters. Structures with three levels of slenderness (1, 2 and 3) were modeled and analyzed by means of static and dynamic nonlinear analysis simulations. To quantify structural vulnerability, fragility curves were generated considering Immediate Occupancy, Life Safety and Collapse Prevention performance states as a function of peak ground acceleration (PGA). The results show that the incorporation of dissipaters significantly reduces the inelastic demand and delays the appearance of critical performance states, even in buildings with greater slenderness. However, differences were identified in the effectiveness of each type of dissipator depending on the geometric configuration. In less slender structures, the dissipaters maintained low proba...

The study of sustainable construction materials is getting attention, since the materials must be ecological, recyclable and renewable to generate a positive impact on the environment as a substitute for the construction materials currently used in rural areas of Huancayo. The objective of this research is to determine a sustainable material with resistant mechanical properties, such as reinforced blocks with Agave americana L fiber. The block components were sand, clay and silt, in order to evaluate its behavior, 5 dosages of fiber were proposed: 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1%, these were expressed with respect to the total weight of the sample, on the other hand, the fiber used was cut to obtain a length of 25mm. Strengths were evaluated using the simple compression method, the Brazilian diametral compression tensile method and the modulus of rupture method. The result for the most opti...
