Estudio Patológico de Concreto y Corrosión de la Estructura Teatro Aurora de la Ciudad de Riohacha Departamento de la Guajira

Abstract

The Teatro Aurora de Riohacha is an emblematic structure in the city of Riohacha, Colombia, which has played an important role in promoting performing and cultural arts in the region. Its structural behavior refers to how the building responds to the external and internal forces that act on it, including wind loads, seismicity and the weight of the structure. The Aurora Theater was designed with a distinctive architectural style that combines historic and modern elements. Its structure includes features such as massonry walls, steel beams and reinforced concrete. The structure of the Aurora Theater is designed to resist vertical and horizontal loads, including those generated by the public, lighting and sound equipment, as well as wind forces and possible seismic events. Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the structural integrity of the theater. This may include periodic inspection, repairs of deteriorated materials, and upgrades as necessary to meet current safety standards. Over time, adaptations and improvements may be made to the Aurora Theater structure to meet changing safety and functionality requirements, as well as to incorporate modern technologies and sustainable design practices. The structural behavior of the Aurora Theater in Riohacha implies its ability to resist and adapt to the forces that act on it, ensuring its functionality over time and its continuous contribution to the cultural heritage of the region.
