Currently, there are a large number ofold educational institutions still in operation that were built without considering earthquake-resistant criteria. These buildings, being considered essential, must maintain their operability during and after a seismic event. In this research, two two-level modules with regular plans belonging to an educational institution built in 1994 were analyzed. These modules are characterized by having a reinforced concrete frame system in the X direction and a confined masonry system in the Y direction. These modules were analyzed by applying the linear parameters of NTP E.030 and nonlinear methodologies such as the Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis (NDA), where the structures were subjected to three seismic events that occurred in Peru, which were corrected, scaled, and matched to the response spectrum using Seismosignal and Seismomatch software. ETABS software was...

The nonlinear static analysis method has facilitated models that are closer to the structural response for strong seismic movements. Therefore, a seismic performance evaluation of a multi-purpose hall building located in a national public university in Chiclayo, Peru, was developed, applying the nonlinear static analysis. This building comprises two similar modules, each with 3 levels and irregular plans. The building's structural system consists of load-bearing walls. It was constructed in 2010 and designed according to E.030 (the Peruvian seismic-resistant standard) and Peru's seismic microzonation. For practical purposes, considering the symmetry of the overall structure, one of the modules was evaluated using nonlinear methods capable of simulating the effect of earthquakes. This development included applying a linear analysis to establish the response spectra and, based on that, per...
