Abstract
Gran parte de la población de San Cristóbal de La Laguna (Tenerife) se emplaza sobre una potente serie de depósitos volcano-sedimentarios de origen fundamentalmente lacustre. Las propiedades geotécnicas de estos depósitos, en general blandos, deben estar relacionadas con la mayor duración e intensidad del movimiento del suelo que perciben los habitantes del valle de La Laguna cuando tiene lugar un terremoto. En este trabajo, partiendo de estudios geológicos y geotécnicos previos, se evalúa el factor de amplificación y la respuesta espectral elástica de tres emplazamientos representativos de acuerdo con las normativas española (NCSE-02) y europea (Eurocódigo-8) y para dos escenarios sísmicos diferentes. Los resultados obtenidos siguiendo ambas normativas presentan importantes diferencias, tanto en la metodología de clasificación de terrenos y asignación de factores de amplificación, como en la forma y amplitud de los espectros de respuesta resultantes. Se puede admitir, en general, que la zona del valle que mayor amplificación del movimiento presentaría durante un terremoto es la central, seguida por la zona suroeste, según la NCSE-02, o la zona noreste según el Eurocódigo-8.
A major part of San Cristóbal de La Laguna city (Tenerife) is founded on a thick series of volcano-sedimentary deposits of a lacustrine origin mainly. The longer duration and higher intensity of strong ground motion that the dwellers of La Laguna valley feel whenever and earthquake strikes the area is thought to be related to the particular properties of these soft soils. Based on previous geological and geotechnical field work, we assess the amplification factor and construct the elastic response spectra at three representative sites of the valley following NCSE-02 Spanish code and Eurocode-8 provisions and for two different seismic scenarios. Results show significant discrepancies due to differences in the soil classification scheme, designation of amplification factors, and the shape and amplitude of response spectra, in both codes. Both codes predict that the central part of the valley would experience the higher amplification during an earthquake, followed by the southwest part according to NCSE-02, or the northeast part according to Eurocode-8.
