(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-01-22) Suárez Cifuentes, Astrid Dayanna; Conde Morales, Hubeymar; González Mejía, Juan Esteban; Gamba Gómez, Osmar Albert; Universidad Santo Tomás
This study aims to analyze the pathologies associated with water leaks in the roof of the Santa Rita de Casia Church, located in the municipality of Tuta, Boyacá. Visual inspection methods, moisture measurements, and photographic documentation were employed, following the guidelines established by NSR-10 and AIS 100-10. The results indicate that approximately 40% of the structure is affected by leaks and deterioration in the wooden components. An intervention strategy is proposed based on heritage conservation criteria, prioritizing the authenticity, reversibility, and sustainability of the materials used. The analysis of the pathologies revealed that, in order to control the leaks and deterioration present in the roof of the Santa Rita de Casia Church, it is necessary to develop a comprehensive intervention plan that includes targeted repairs to the wooden elements, along with the application of protective and preventive conservation treatments. Specifically, it is recommended to selectively replace the damaged structural members, improve the waterproofing system, and apply compatible coatings to prevent moisture infiltration and further material degradation. This study presents an integrated restoration proposal for the Santa Rita de Casia Church, in compliance with the NSR-10 and AIS 100-10 standards, as well as the fundamental principles of heritage conservation. The proposed actions aim to extend the building’s service life, preserve its architectural authenticity, and ensure both the structural stability and the historical value of the temple. Keywords: Conservation, Pathology, Leakage, Intervention, Heritage.

This study focuses on the analysis of structural pathologies identified in one of the buildings located in Bogotá, specifically in the locality of Usaquén. The case study corresponds to the residential complex Santa Cruz de Sotavento, located at Carrera 11 No. 140 – 87, in the Los Cedritos neighborhood. Constructed in 1980, the building has begun to exhibit signs of settlement and lateral displacement, leading to material detachment and separations between the housing units and the platform structure. In order to identify and evaluate the most significant risks associated with these conditions, the firm Alfonso Uribe & Cía. S. A. conducted a soil study aimed at analyzing the building’s structural behavior and proposing technical solutions. Consequently, this report seeks to determine the causes of the observed pathologies, interpret the findings of the geotechnical study, and propose intervention measures that enhance the safety, stability, and durability of the structure.

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-12-18) Bonilla Becerra, Cristhian Andres; Pinedo Solano, Gina Esther; Zambrano Vásquez, Diana Mylena; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000116359; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001676584; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=bxudHK8AAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0009-0004-6042-1250
This work develops a pathological diagnosis of the UASB reactors belonging to the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) of the municipality of Piojó, with the purpose of evaluating their structural condition and establishing intervention guidelines that allow optimizing their performance and ensuring their durability over time. The research focused on analyzing the behavior of concrete under service and environmental conditions, applying a methodology based on visual inspections, dimensional surveying, photographic recording, and nondestructive tests, among which the Schmidt hammer test stands out to determine the surface strength of the material. The results obtained were favorable: the concrete maintains an average strength close to 4000 psi, a value consistent with the structural design, which confirms that the reactor retains its loadbearing capacity. Only localized damages were detected, such as areas with honeycombing and partial exposure of the reinforcing steel, mainly caused by irregularities during the execution of the work and the prolonged action of environmental agents. Based on the technical analysis, maintenance and structural recovery actions are proposed, such as the repair of voids through grout injection, the cleaning and protection of steel with corrosion inhibitors, and the application of protective coatings on exposed surfaces. These measures will make it possible to restore the structural integrity of the reactor, extend its service life, and guarantee its proper performance within the plant’s anaerobic treatment system, contributing to the sustainability of the municipality’s sanitation service.

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-02-10) Isaza Gomez, Cesar Augusto; Silva Quiroz, Oscar Ivan; ZAMBRANO, DIANA MYLENA; Universidad Santo Tomas; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000116359; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=bxudHK8AAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0009-0004-6042-1250
A technical report was prepared with the aim of diagnosing the damage and pathologies present in the Gabriel García Márquez Cultural Center. This building is located at Calle 11 #5-60 in Bogotá, across from the Teatro Colón, an area of significant cultural interest for the city. The investigation focused on the structural evaluation and diagnosis of the property, motivated by the manifestations of damage observed in various areas of the cultural center. The study encompassed an exhaustive review of pertinent documentation, including architectural and structural designs, and soil studies. The causes of the multiple damages were analyzed, considering both the construction aspects of the original building and the impact of subsequent adjacent constructions**. Water leaks, generalized cracks, and collapses were identified that were not present in the initial 2016 Neighborhood Agreement (Acta de Vecindad). A causal relationship was determined between the damage and the vibrations and tremors generated by the excavation and construction of the retaining walls and anchors for the Third Stage of the Teatro Colón. This summary more specifically integrates the findings and conclusions present in the structural pathology report, along with the tests that the cultural center's administration allowed to be carried out, such as ultrasound measurement and Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) inspection, a methodology used by the aqueduct and sewage company.
Estudio patológico de las afectaciones del conjunto residencial Niza IX
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-01-22) Rodríguez Trujillo, Angie Tatiana; Ramírez Ossa, Juan David; Castro Cuestas, Jonathan; Gamba Gomez, Osmar Albert; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000804371; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=RNg0RPgAAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2124-5723
The purpose of this thesis is to conduct a pathological analysis of the Niza IX Residential Complex, located on 127th Street in Bogotá. This complex consists of eight five-story apartment blocks, built with a structural system of load-bearing walls and foundations on continuous slabs, supported by an improvement of the natural soil. Since their construction, the buildings have shown signs of damage that compromise both their structural stability and the safety of their inhabitants. The study was carried out through visual inspection and the application of non-destructive laboratory tests, selected due to the complexity of the failures and the potential risk of collapse. To this end, two main tests were used: sclerometry, under standard NTC-3692 of 2018, and ultrasound, in accordance with standard NTC-4325 of 1997. Taking into account the soil study provided, the main cause of the cracks is differential settlement, generated by deficiencies in soil improvement and inadequate structural distribution design. This led to poor building performance, increasing the risk of cracking and compromising their durability. The results of the ultrasound test indicated that, in a 12 cm thick wall, the deepest crack reached 10 cm, which makes it highly vulnerable to leaks and the penetration of contaminants that can affect the concrete and its reinforcement. For its part, the sclerometry showed that the structural elements maintain adequate compressive strength, ruling out faults in the quality of the concrete. In conclusion, the damage observed is not due to deficiencies in the materials, but rather to poor structural design, particularly in the distribution of loads and the presence of overloads, which explains the presence of cracks in the load-bearing elements.

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-02-07) Vásquez Vásquez, Javier José; Giraldo Montes, Jenny Carolina; Calvo Muñoz, Fabio Antonio; Gamba Gómez , Oscar Albert; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000804371; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=RNg0RPgAAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2124-5723
This research presents a comprehensive pathological study of the Fondo de Educación Regional (F.E.R.) building, located in Barranquilla, Colombia, aimed at diagnosing the causes of structural deterioration and proposing a technical intervention to restore its load-bearing capacity and durability. The adopted methodology combined systematic visual inspection, geometric survey, non-destructive testing (rebound hammer, carbonation depth, corrosion potential), and structural modeling based on NSR-10, ACI 201.1R-08, ACI 562-19, and relevant ASTM standards. The results revealed a moderate to high level of damage, mainly due to advanced carbonation, active steel corrosion, and insufficient concrete cover, worsened by humidity and poor maintenance. The concrete showed an average compressive strength of 16 MPa and carbonation depth of 18 mm, confirming the loss of alkalinity and protection layer of the steel reinforcement.
Estudio patológico en predio Santa María Del Lago - Bogotá
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-12-27) Castañeda Olaya, Andrés Fernando; Melo Cepeda, Karla Andrea; Gamba Gómez , Osmar Albert; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000804371; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=RNg0RPgAAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2124-5723
The building under study is a commercial property located in the Santa María del Lago neighborhood in Bogotá D.C., with over four decades of age. Its structural system consists of reinforced concrete frames, masonry walls, and a flat roof, classifying it as a conventional low-rise construction. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and analyze the pathologies identified during the visual inspection and to determine their impact on the current structural performance. It was found that approximately 60% of the structural and non-structural elements exhibit medium to high levels of deterioration, mainly associated with water exposure, differential settlement, material shrinkage, and lack of preventive maintenance. These conditions have been exacerbated by empirical interventions lacking technical support and the absence of original structural plans, which creates uncertainty regarding the building’s load-bearing capacity and seismic behavior. In summary, the study reveals that the structure presents moderate to high seismic vulnerability and requires comprehensive reinforcement and waterproofing interventions. The technical proposal aims to ensure the durability and functional safety of the building by applying principles of construction pathology, structural rehabilitation, and seismic performance assessment.
Estudio patológico de una edificación de cuatro pisos denominada el Polo, ubicada en la ciudad de Bogotá
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-12-12) Navarro Tellez, Laura Angelica; Serna Arias, Juan Sebastian; Gamba Gomez, Osmar Albert; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000804371; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=RNg0RPgAAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; ttps://orcid.org/0000-0002-2124-5723
This pathological study focuses on the structural conditions identified at the El Polo building, located in Bogota city and built in 1964. Through visual inspections, crack gauge measurements, and verticality control using topography, cracks, fissures, and differential settlements were detected and affect both; safety and functionality of the structure. The main objective of this study was to determine the primary cause of the differential settlements that led to the tilting of the building, as well as the appearance of cracks and fissures in structural elements such as beams and columns. Additionally, other pathologies were identified, including moisture problems—especially around the windows—which are considered a secondary cause of the observed settlements. Based on these findings, a series of tests were proposed, including crack and fissure measurements, core extraction, verticality control using topography, and soil exploration. After analyzing the results, it was concluded that the soil failed due to consolidation caused by the increase in dead load over the years. The results of this study will serve as input for conducting a seismic vulnerability analysis and structural reinforcement assessment to determine which option is more viable: reinforcing or demolishing the building.

The Floresta Outlet Shopping and Business Center underwent an expansion in 2009, increasing from five to seven floors. This modification generated significant structural deterioration due to the overload introduced without adequate structural reinforcement, compromising the stability of the building and the safety of its occupants. The methodology included a detailed qualitative inspection combined with non-destructive tests (visual inspection, photographic survey, crack measurement, geometric deformation control) and documentary analysis of structural drawings, soil studies, and calculation reports. Technical standards such as NSR-98 and NSR-10 were considered. The main findings revealed differential settlements up to 36 cm, cracks in structural elements, water infiltration, corrosion of reinforcements, and façade detachment, which confirm that the foundation capacity is insufficient for the current load. The study concludes that the building presents a critical structural risk and recommends foundation underpinning, structural strengthening, and a preventive maintenance program.
Estudio patológico para intervención de 5,5 kilómetros de vía que conducen del centro poblado La Balsa, al centro poblado de Bocas del Guayuriba en el Municipio de Puerto López - Meta.
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-01-19) Garay Lozano , Diego Andrés; Espinosa Suarez , Mayerly Andrea; Universidad Santo Tomas; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000116359; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=bxudHK8AAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0009-0004-6042-1250
The thesis presents a pathological diagnosis of the road connecting the populated centers of La Balsa and Bocas del Guayuriba in the municipality of Puerto López, Meta, with a length of 5.5 kilometers. The study was developed under an analytical methodology that included field activities to identify, classify, and analyze the existing damages in the road structure. Through visual inspections, auscultations, and destructive and non-destructive tests, it was determined that the road presents multiple pathologies such as hard heads, alligator cracking, potholes, and edge disintegration, mainly associated with the deterioration of the wearing course and the increase in heavy traffic in the area. The technical analysis made it possible to establish that the pavement structure was not designed to withstand the current level of traffic, predominantly composed of heavy vehicles due to the agricultural and mining development of the sector. In addition, environmental factors such as high rainfall and poor bonding between layers contributed to the accelerated deterioration of the pavement. It was identified that the road was initially built with a double surface treatment and on alluvial soils—conditions that, together with the lack of preventive maintenance, explain the loss of its functionality and the absence of residual life in much of its stretch. Finally, the study concludes that the road requires a comprehensive intervention based on the results of laboratory and field tests, prioritizing the structural redesign of the pavement, the improvement of drainage, and the implementation of materials according to INVIAS specifications. This diagnosis constitutes a fundamental technical tool for the planning of future rehabilitation works, ensuring the durability and stability of this strategic road corridor for the economic and social development of the municipality of Puerto López.

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-01-21) Romero Granados, Erika Vanessa; Bermudez Becerra, Edna Mayerly; Zambrano Vasquez, Diana Mylena; Universidad Santo Tomas; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000116359; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=bxudHK8AAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0009-0004-6042-1250
The purpose of this study was to diagnose the pathological condition of a two-story residential building located in the Montenegro urbanization, municipality of La Pintada, Antioquia. The structure, built in 1984 with a reinforced masonry system and shallow foundations, exhibits several pathologies caused by its age, environmental conditions, and the characteristics of the terrain, which has been classified as a high-risk zone for mass movements according to the Territorial Planning Scheme. The methodology included preliminary data collection, technical site visits with photographic records, architectural and structural surveys, visual inspections, and the preparation of damage classification sheets. The identified pathologies were physical (cracks and fissures ranging from 1 to 5 mm, tile detachment, capillary and condensation humidity), mechanical (differential settlements and deformations), and chemical (metal oxidation). These conditions compromise the durability of materials and pose potential safety risks if not properly addressed. The results indicate that the main causes are related to poor rainwater management, inadequately compacted soils, lack of preventive maintenance, and the impact of the local warm-humid climate. It is concluded that the building requires an intervention plan based on prioritizing damage, possible foundation reinforcement in case of continued settlements, wall waterproofing, roof repairs, and periodic monitoring of cracks. In summary, this diagnosis provides technical guidelines for maintenance and rehabilitation, aiming to ensure structural safety, extend the service life of the building, and guarantee adequate living conditions for its users.
Estudio patológico para intervención de la humedad presentada en muros estructurales de vivienda unifamiliar.
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-01-19) Barrera Gómez, Jessica del Pilar; , Osmar Albert; Universidad Santo Tómas; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000804371; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=RNg0RPgAAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2124-5723
This paper analyzes a structure for residential use, located in Kennedy, Bogota. The pathology under study is capillary humidity, a phenomenon that manifests itself when the water contained in the subsoil ascends through the pores of the building material, affecting the quality of the walls and finishes. The main objective of this thesis is to identify the underlying causes of this pathology. Based on the findings and the technical literature consulted, it will seek to propose an effective and economic intervention to mitigate moisture and extend the life of the structure. It should be borne in mind that the costs associated with the intervention must be affordable, as most homeowners do not have the resources to carry out destructive testing or carry out large-scale repairs. Therefore, the approach of this study is based on the use of non-invasive and low-cost techniques, both in the diagnosis and in the execution of solutions. This analysis also aims to highlight that this type of pathology may be more common than is believed, especially in neighborhoods of Bogota where many houses were not built under the current technical regulations of their time. Therefore, one of the key objectives of this study is to provide a replicable intervention model, which allows to intervene these structures in an effective, economic and sustainable way, thus improving the housing conditions of the owners. In the development of the document will be described the methodology to work and the estimated budget so that the intervention is carried out under current technical and regulatory parameters.

Estudio patológico para intervención del edificio L’Avenida
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-12-14) Cardozo Muñoz, Anny Yineth; Julio Ramirez, Andrés Felipe; Rivera Alvarado, Leidy Vanesa; Gamba Gomez, Osmar Albert; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000804371; https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=es&user=RNg0RPgAAAAJ; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2124-5723
This study analyzes the pathological condition of the Edificio L’Avenida, located in the Chico neighborhood (Bogotá D.C.) and built in 1985 under the NSR-84 code, with the purpose of diagnosing the causes of structural deterioration and formulating an intervention proposal in accordance with NSR-10. The building, consisting of five stories, a basement, and a terrace, is located in an intermediate seismic hazard zone (Ae = 0.13) on lacustrine soils with highplasticity clays and low bearing capacity, classified as type G-2 according to NSR-10. These conditions, together with the lack of continuity in the foundation beams, have caused differential settlements and vertical cracking in columns and adjacent slabs. The methodology includes document review, visual inspection, non-destructive testing, and geotechnical studies. The results show cracks in columns and slabs, uplift, loss of concrete cover, and persistent moisture in the northwestern area. It is concluded that the damage stems mainly from deficiencies in the foundation and the compressible behavior of the soil. The proposed intervention involves completing the perimeter foundation with tie beams and installing PushPile-type micropiles under the affected footings, as well as performing concrete repairs, epoxy injections, and crack sealing, ensuring structural stability, durability, and regulatory compliance.
