Estudio Patologico Vivienda Campestre Fugagasuga, Via Arbelaez Cundinamarca

Abstract

The objective of this project is to present the development and pathological diagnosis of the Finca el Refugio rural building, located at Km 1+490 Via Vereda El Placer in the municipality of Fusagasugá, Sumapaz province, Cundinamarca department. The basis of this work is that the rural house presents several pathologies that are deteriorating its architectural finishes and structural elements. As it is a 1990s construction, the aim is to preserve the heritage and architectural aesthetics of the period. To preserve the aesthetics and architectural essence of the building, a historical study of both the house and the surrounding area has been conducted, providing a point of reference and clarity regarding the type of building to be renovated. The main objective of this research is to conduct a pathological study of the aforementioned building, with the purpose of establishing a rehabilitation plan that offers solutions to the existing pathological damage without modifying its design and period architectural essence. This research project is approached using a methodology based on a combination of structural and architectural diagnostic techniques. Therefore, the research will involve destructive testing such as coring and drilling into the ground surface, among others, as well as non-destructive testing such as the evaluation of cracks through continuous monitoring. Various analyses will be performed on the data obtained to inform key recommendations, such as reinforcing foundations with micropiles, which will help correct differential settlements, as well as stabilizing concrete elements affected by cracks and corrosion.
