The buildings built on coastal soil, located on the fire belt present a high seismic risk, since there are unfavorable soil conditions and in other cases plate subduction. This has led to countries located in these areas developing seismic regulations that allow the proper design of engineering works; however, various regulations present different considerations for the design, such as the use of parameters that allow standardizing the design that often does not present the same seismic responses of the real dynamic behavior of the soil. Therefore, the present research proposes to evaluate the seismic response of two buildings, one essential and the other common, with an analysis using site spectra, a dynamic spectral modal analysis and additionally a time-history analysis taking into account soil types and use of different seismic parameters of South American standards. The main result is that the seismic response by analysis with site spectra (ES) is greater compared to the dynamic spectral modal analysis according to the magnitude of the earthquakes and the type of soil.
