| Resumo: | Contemporary high standards in seismic building behavior in Chile, evidence structural and architectural design efficiency reached during the past few decades. Limited damages and building destruction after great earthquakes show some of this condition. In contrast, some other aspects, referred to theoretical and empirical approaches in which earthquake proof building design is based on, are less evident. Such basis refer to a historic process developed from the beginning of the XXth century in the country, which explains how earthquake proof buildings have been progressively consolidating all around the country, and consequently, reducing earthquake destruction.This paper examines the structural engineering historical sources that provided some essential concepts related with stability and earthquake resistance at the beginning of the XXth century. It suggests that part of the tendency toward erecting reinforced concrete buildings can be explained by some critical studies, projects and construction processes of concrete bridges developed during this period. The article contributes to a better understanding of local architectural historiography, through the transferences between scientific and technological historical advances that provided theoretical and empirical approaches to seismic resistance in Chile, and its impact on buildings, and structural criteria based on monolithic and rigidity principles. |
