1. Terremoti, ruderi e ricostruzioni. Una proposta per la chiesa di Sant’ Agostino ad Amatrice

Abstract

The Church of Sant’Agostino is an aulic example of medieval mendicant architecture. The church is part of central Italy’s huge heritage reduced to ruin by the earthquake of 2016 and 2017. Those repeated seismic shocks caused the collapse of the rose window, the bell tower, the adjacent urbic door and the northwest side. The following work concerns the cultural and technological issues of the reconstruction project for a ruin which was caused by traumatic events. These ruins have intrinsic cultural values. This essay proposes design solutions for the church of Sant'Agostino: without altering the focus of the intervention, which consists of preservation of the cultural values of what still persists, the project envisages the reconstruction and rubble recycling, using constructive techniques that are both traditional and contemporary. Furthermore, the border line between the ruin and the rebuilt parts is marked out with both modern technological and formal solutions.

Abstract

The rebuilding process following the seismic event which affected Peru on August 15, 2007 was deeply inegalitarian. Indeed, very few families were able to rebuild even more than one year after the disaster. The poorest, especially the ones who were not able to rely on the support of the social and power networks, were excluded from the rebuilding process. A survey was carried out with 1703 disaster victim families of the Chincha province and it shows that the population vulnerability, which was already high before the earthquake, increased because of the reinforcement of family precariousness, of the increase in vulnerability of constructions, and the fact that the social cohesion has been weakened.

Abstract

[ES] El presente trabajo trata la información necesaria para realizar el diseño y revestimiento del túnel previsto en la vía Alóag-Unión entre los PK¿s 20+221 a 21+959, en el suroeste de Quito, Ecuador. También contempla la caracterización del terreno por el que atravesará el túnel, así como el diseño de los emboquilles. Adicionalmente, se estudia la excavabilidad de la obra y un análisis de la bilbiografía existente para el cálculo del presupuesto., [EN] This work deals with the information necessary to carry out the design and lining of the planned tunnel on the Alóag-Unión road between KPs 20 + 221 to 21 + 959, in the southwest of Quito, Ecuador. It also includes the characterization of the terrain through which the tunnel will pass, as well as the design of the openings. Additionally, the excavability of the work and an analysis of the existing bibliography are studied to calculate the budget.

Abstract

In many developing countries the most common alternative for dwelling construction is building with earth because the material is abundant and cheap. The quality of most traditional earthen construction is very low, because it is done informally, with little or no technical assistance. In seismic areas where earthen construction is common, every time an earthquake occurs, many dwellings collapse, causing considerable economic losses and tragic injuries and deaths. The professional and academic communities in some seismic countries have not remained indifferent to this important problem. Researchers at the Catholic University of Peru (PUCP) have been investigating on the construction of earthen buildings in seismic areas for about 40 years and have obtained invaluable results. This article describes the evolution of the knowledge generated at PUCP of reinforced earth, a material composed of earth and compatible reinforcements, with which it is possible to build seismic-resistant constructions., En muchos países en vías de desarrollo la alternativa de vivienda más común es la construcción con tierra, pues el material es abundante y barato. La construcción tradicional de viviendas de tierra se realiza informalmente, sin asesoría técnica. Por ello, la calidad de estas construcciones es generalmente muy baja. En zonas sísmicas donde se construye con tierra, cada vez que ocurre un terremoto colapsan muchas construcciones de este material, causando considerables pérdidas económicas y lamentables pérdidas de vidas. Las comunidades académicas y profesionales de algunos países sísmicos no han permanecido impasibles frente a esta grave situación. En el Perú, investigadores de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP) han venido investigando la construcción con tierra en áreas sísmicas desde hace cerca 40 años y han obtenido invalorables resultados. Este artículo describe la evolución del conocimiento generado en la PUCP del material tierra armada, compuesto por tierra y refuerzos compatibles, que permite lograr construcciones sismorresistentes.
