STRUCTURAL TYPOLOGY OF THE HISTORIC CENTER OF THE CITY OF SINCELEJO

Abstract

The new achievements that have been reached in the field of structural design can be applied only to new constructions; but the existing structures are the representation, in a greater percentage, of the structural characteristics of the cities. This study seeks to know the Structural Typology of the downtown area of the City of Sincelejo, which represents an optimization mechanism for Seismic Risk studies.. As the main tool, the Geographic Information System (GIS) technology was used, since it facilitates the implementation of the methods to be used, the management of information, and above all, the visualization of the results. The data obtained in the statistical analysis are shown in tables and figures, where the different typological characteristics of the buildings in the area appear.
