| Summary: | In the rural areas of Mexico and Latin America, prevails the people of low income, living in unsafe and unhealthy, precarious housing anchoring to its inhabitants in the cycle of poverty. The academic team, with the purpose of contributing to the solution to the problem of rural housing, developed prototypes of low-cost housing that were built by families living in conditions of high marginalization in the town of Ocuilapa Juárez, Chiapas. The construction used existing materials in the place; stone in foundations, sand with high clay content (22%) in the preparation of concrete hollow blocks and wood in the roof structure. This article presents the results of measurements made with accelerometers in two homes, to determine the level of vulnerability to seismic scenarios. The fundamental period of vibration obtained are from 0.08 to 0.12 seconds; range of common values for structurally ‘healthy’ dwellings. Also, the analyses carried out prove that dwellings are in ‘low vulnerability’ condition in the presence of medium magnitude earthquakes. |
