THE PROPOSED DESIGN OF A SMART PARKING AREA AS A MULTIPLE USE BUILDING FOR THE EVENTUAL VERTICAL EVACUATION IN CASE OF TSUNAMI IMPACTS IN SALINAS, ECUADOR

Ecuador is a country with high seismic risk, due to its proximity to the Pacific Ring of Fire. Hereby, strong seismic events are able to occur generating tsunamis, of which an impact may be imminent and whose response time will be short for the evacuation of the population to a safe place.

Description
Résumé:Ecuador is a country with high seismic risk, due to its proximity to the Pacific Ring of Fire. Hereby, strong seismic events are able to occur generating tsunamis, of which an impact may be imminent and whose response time will be short for the evacuation of the population to a safe place. Additionally, there are cities along the Ecuadorian coast that lack safe areas, understood as elevated areas and outside the flood or impact area. Therefore, within the current study in the city of Salinas, we contemplate an architectural and structural multi-hazard proposal, which includes tsunamis and earthquakes, as a multi-use type building that allows the vertical evacuation of the population, as well as the considerations of location, space and height of the building.
