Estudio patológico de edificación IPS Sura Madrid para adecuación a uso especial según NSR-10

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of the structural state of the building located on Carrera 6 #12-32 in Madrid - Cundinamarca, in order to determine its suitability for a new use as a "Special Occupation Structure". Through an inspection, analysis of historical documentation and laboratory tests, existing pathologies in the structure were identified, such as humidity, leaks, changes in sections of the structure and spatial alterations. Subsequently, a structural analysis was carried out using the Etabs 18 software and considering the guidelines established in the Colombian Earthquake Resistant Construction Regulations (NSR-10). This analysis allowed us to evaluate the load-bearing capacity of the structure in the face of the new loads imposed by the change of use and determine the most vulnerable areas. As a result of this study, a precise diagnosis of the current state of the structure has been prepared, identifying the causes of the pathologies and quantifying their impact on the safety and habitability of the building. Based on this diagnosis, a comprehensive intervention plan is proposed that includes structural reinforcement in the elements that present deficiencies in their load-bearing capacity and repair of the pathologies detected in the construction elements in order to recover the functionality and aesthetics of the elements. affected. The implementation of these measures will allow the structure to be adapted to the new demands of use, guaranteeing its safety and long-term durability. In addition, recommendations are presented for the maintenance of the structure once the repair and structural reinforcement works have been carried out.
