After a visual inspection of a representative sample of 200 buildings, pathological deterioration in structural elements and joints, with severe levels of damage, was detected in the buildings built with the Great Soviet Panel prefabricated system in Santiago de Cuba. Likewise, increases in weight and changes in rigidity were found, due to the contraventions of the inhabitants. In this research, with the aim of forecasting the seismic behavior of some buildings built with the Great Soviet Panel precast system, the values of the fundamental periods are determined through the environmental vibrations of 7 buildings that make up the sample studied. It is concluded that changes are expected in the seismic behavior of these instrumented buildings.

Keywords : fundamental period; environmental vibrations; seismic behavior; precast system; Great Soviet Panel.
