Publicación Acceso abierto Situación de las técnicas de control de respuesta sísmica en Colombia(2013-11-27) Oviedo, J. A. (Juan Andrés); Duque-Uribe, M. P. (Maria del Pilar)This paper presents general aspects of the present situation of the use of seismic response-control techniques in Colombian buildings. The most prevalent techniques used worldwide are identified, and the results of a survey conducted among Colombian structural design engineers aimed at detecting some of the reasons why these techniques have not had a significant applicability in the country are presented. The results of the survey reveal that Colombia is still far from being a leading country in the application of seismic response control techniques, and that most entities and practitioners involved in building planning either do not know these techniques or are not well aware of economical benefits as well as improved structural performance. Finally, based on experiences gained in other countries, the use of these techniques in structural design for Colombia buildings is encouraged.
