| dc.description.abstract | A comparative study of the seismic
analysis between the seismic codes used in Puerto
Rico and the Dominican Republic was performed.
This study shows a calculation, step by step, of the
seismic lateral load for both seismic codes. Results
indicates that Guide R001 generates 41.2% higher
Base Shear and 10.8% higher story drift, in
average, than ASCE 7. However, the Guide R001
requires a lower boundary limit (75% less) for the
allowable story drift, which might results in a stiffer
building design structures as opposite to the ASCE
7.
