DESIGN OF A DECENTRALIZED AND SUSTAINABLE GRAVITY-FED DRINKING WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM: THE CASE OF SAN MARINO, BAGADÓ, CHOCÓ.

The Mario Santo Domingo Building project arose as a response to the needs of the Universidad del Norte in terms of academic and institutional spaces. This building has a floor plan of 11,000 m^2 and 11 levels, with ample, diverse and ergonomic spaces that provide an optimal experience for its occupants. In order to optimize financial and environmental costs, a combination of porticos and structural walls was chosen as the structural system. This configuration allows the building to have excellent seismic performance. In addition, a lightened slab system was proposed as the mezzanine system: one of the most optimal options in terms of the amount of concrete and steel used in the construction process. All structural components were designed with the objective of complying with all the provisions described in NSR-10 for structures with moderate energy dissipation capacity, as required by the seismic hazard zone of the city of Santa Marta, where the project is located. Due to the limitations corresponding to the architectural arrangements, the layout of the structural walls was intelligently planned in order to avoid torsional effects in the building. The mathematical modeling showed the expected results, with a good seismic behavior of the structure. In addition, optimal costs were obtained in comparison to the structural systems postponed in the different alternatives of this project.
