In the city of Lima, constant migration, and the high cost of finding housing in the capital, has caused the most disadvantaged people to occupy precarious land in unsafe areas such as the slopes of hills. That is why, to level these lands and build their homes, the residents chose to use an ancestral construction method such as stone walls to support their homes, which are known as “pircas” or “DSRW”. However, pircas are prone to failure and one of the main ones is overturning failure. This type of failure, due to earthquakes, has caused many homes to be destroyed. Although it is true that pircas are an ancient construction method, if they are built properly, they can withstand large external forces even before they collapse due to the friction force between their elements. However, in departments like Lima, it is built by personnel with little technical capacity and without supervision for its correct assembly. For this reason, the behavior of tests of 5 “pircas“ walls is evaluated. This evaluation is carried out by modeling the 5 walls in the Abaqus software and thus comparing their behavior against overturning versus the behavior of pircas in experimental tests. After comparing with the laboratory test, the conclusion is reached that the behavior of the pircas can be modeled with finite elements, because similar results are found. In the experimental tests, the collapse angles for “pircas” 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are 20°, 23°, 19°, 21° and 19° respectively. While in the numerical model there are angles of 19°, 19°, 19°, 20° and 19° for “pircas” 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. The present work seeks to contribute to the study and modeling of pirca-type structures to evaluate their structural behavior.
