Estudio patológico, vulnerabilidad Y de reforzamiento de la estación de policía Usaquén en la ciudad de Bogotá, D.C.

Abstract

The National Police of Colombia, as a consequence of its natural growth, requires spaces that allow it to carry out its daily tasks efficiently. In order to reduce construction costs, the adaptation and entry into service of the structure located at Calle 165 # 8ª-55 in the city of Bogotá, which is owned by it, is considered essential; Such need requires compliance with the mandatory requirements established in NSR-10 and complementary decrees. Due to the current conditions of the building, it has not been able to go into operation for its final objective (police station); But even so, there are structural elements that are part of the seismic resistance system in conditions acceptable to the naked eye, which can be reinforced at low cost to satisfy the new loads of the structure. The structures that have presented some type of use during the course of time may present technical affectations that interfere in the correct performance of the materials, reducing the durability of the building of which it is part. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a detailed study where existing injuries are shown and intervened in an optimal way to re-potentiate the structural elements and allow a new stage of operation that guarantees the safety of the personnel who work there, since the structure satisfies all needs to which it will be subjected during its useful life.
