Análisis patológico al Puente peatonal ISS de la Carrera 40 en Tuluá, valle del cauca

Abstract

The analysis of pathologies in buildings and infrastructure aims to identify structural and non-structural damages through inspections, laboratory tests, and document evaluation, following Colombian standards such as NSR-10, ICONTEC, and INVIAS guidelines. A visual inspection is initially conducted to detect anomalies and is complemented by a detailed document review. Drones and infrared thermography cameras are used for inspecting hard-to-reach areas. Common pathologies include cracks (active and passive), humidity and leaks, and reinforcement corrosion. These are classified by severity into minor, moderate, and severe, depending on their impact on functionality or structural stability. Material studies include destructive and non-destructive tests, such as concrete compression tests and sclerometry, to assess material strength. Additionally, geotechnical studies and environmental analysis are conducted to evaluate soil capacity and the impact of environmental conditions on materials. Interventions are designed according to the identified pathology. For example, epoxy resin injections are recommended for active cracks. Technological tools like BIM modeling and augmented reality help visualize and efficiently plan interventions. In conclusion, the diagnosis must be comprehensive, considering both structural evaluation and material and environmental studies. The use of advanced technology improves precision and facilitates necessary interventions.
