Description
Summary:A preview of the San José canton exposure model to be used in seismic risk assessments, consisting in the structural characterization and spatial distribution of buildings inside the canton is presented. For it generation, a sample of 1 856 buildings, selected by means of a stratified random sampling with proportional allocation was used, following the Rapid Environmental Mapping method, developed by GFZ. Among the main results found was that 50% of the buildings from the sample are classified as confined reinforced masonry with rigid diaphragm and 40% with flexible diaphragm, also the most used lateral load resisting system is the wall type (92%).
