The 1985 Chile earthquake: Structural characteristics and damage statistics for the building inventory in Vina del Mar

Abstract

The Chile earthquake of 3 March 1985 resulted in an effective peak acceleration of 0.36g in the coastal city of Vina del Mar. The city had an inventory of over 400 reinforced concrete buildings ranging in height from 5 to 23 stories. The observed behavior of the buildings is interpreted in relation to the physical characteristics of the structural systems.National Science Foundation Grant ECE 86-0378
