Quick evaluation of the maximum drift in buildings without shear walls

A methodology is presented to evaluate in quick form the maximum drift in buildings of reinforced concrete conformed by beams and columns, without shear walls, in which each one of the parameters that intervene in the calculation, has been obtained starting from earthquakes registered in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile and Argentina. It has also been considered the form like it is built in Ecuador, the quality of the steel and the concrete that it is usually used in the constructions for the selection of structures. Later on the maximum drift of 72 buildings is obtained, from 1 to 6 floors, before the action of 25 seismic registrations, by means of dynamic non lineal analysis and the 1800 results obtained are compared with the values that are found when applying the quick methodology of evaluation.
