Identificación de Lesiones y Patología para la Casa Villa del Prado en la Ciudad de Bogotá D.C

Abstract

A differential settlement injury is a common phenomenon in constructions, characterized by the uneven variation in the settlement levels of different parts of a structure. This can be caused by several factors, such as soil heterogeneity, uneven loads on the structure, or foundation issues. This thesis presents the consequences of differential settlements, which include cracks in walls, floors, and ceilings, as well as the displacement and distortion of the structure. The tests used to detect these issues incorporate level measurements, visual inspection, soil studies, horizontal leveling of floors, and vertical leveling of walls or columns, as applied in this report. Accurate diagnosis is crucial to implementing effective corrective measures and ensuring the long-term safety and stability of the structure. The document outlines the different phases of the pathological study, including Clinical History, visual inspection, auscultation and/or exploration of the building, assessment, proposed interventions, budget, timeline, conclusions, and recommendations. Overall, it was determined that the building requires structural and locative interventions to repair various structural and non-structural elements.
