Estudio patológico del edificio CAMI (Centro Administrativo Municipal Institucional) del municipio de Tierralta, departamento de Córdoba

Abstract

This structural analysis focuses on conducting a comprehensive diagnosis of the Municipal Administrative Center (CAMI) in Tierralta, Córdoba. The main objective is to identify the root causes of the current damage or deterioration in the building to assess the extent to which it is affecting its structural integrity. Based on these findings, we defined a series of preventive and corrective intervention plans aimed at restoring the building's safety and extending its lifespan. The building has five levels and over 2,650 m2 of constructed area, although only a portion is currently in use; in fact, three of its floors are practically abandoned. For this analysis, we followed the "Building History" method, which involved reviewing old plans and permits, as well as conducting technical visual inspections to classify each type of damage according to its origin (physical, mechanical, chemical, or biological). The diagnostic results confirm that the durability and structural performance of the CAMI are seriously compromised. Therefore, it is urgent to initiate a priority intervention that addresses the root causes of the damage. Only a comprehensive technical rehabilitation plan, accompanied by sustainable maintenance, will allow the building to be rescued
