Optimización De La Restauración Del Muro De Tapia De La Culata Lateral Oriental Del Teatro Imperial De La Universidad De Nariño A Través De La Aplicación De Una Capa Para Mejorar La Impermeabilización Del Mortero

Abstract

This research presents a pathological study of localized humidity in the structural wall of rammed earth and adobe that makes up the eastern side of the Imperial Theater of the University of Nariño in the city of San Juan de Pasto, Nariño and proposes a waterproofing proposal based on plastering with cement soil mortar with an adhesion bridge. The Imperial Theater of the University of Nariño stands out as a symbol of culture and art, consolidating itself over the years as a cultural and social epicenter of great heritage value, with a republican architectural style, this building has witnessed of multiple cultural events, and in 1998 it was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest of the Nation. However, the structure faces a host of problems due to environmental factors such as its location in a high-traffic area and seismic activity, which has accelerated its deterioration and poses significant challenges to its preservation. Beyond the different pathologies of all kinds that it presents, the greatest pathological aggravation that threatens the structural stability of the patient is derived from an anthropogenic cause: the demolition of the Woodcock House, a mansion corresponding to the Republican period that was located on the eastern side of the building and that produced the structural deconfinement of this semi-detached condition, exposing this lateral head that is part of the main structural system of the theater to the effects of weathering. The Imperial Theater has had different interventions, restorations and remodeling throughout its life and service; however, a structural repowering of this element is required to prevent future injuries and restore confidence in the stability of the patient.
