Abstract

In the present work, the authors propose the pathological study of Las Monjas School and Sanctuary, located in the municipality of Tibasosa, department of Boyacá. Generalizing, its typology corresponds to a portico structure (beams and columns) and walls in masonry (common brick), which transmit the loads by means of footings (preliminary, not confirmed) to the ground. It began with a diagnosis, with which each structural and non-structural element is evaluated that make up the patient, in order to identify pathologies and propose the type of intervention corresponding to the type of construction. The patient is of great structural importance and colonial for the region and that despite the injuries identified is in partial functioning for municipal administration offices. According to public and private data, the construction of the College dates from 1945. Since then then; the constant inclement weather, population growth, use of the structure, have deteriorated, presenting a series of injuries and deficiencies in the structural part due to stresses seismic, which allow to infer that this building needs an intervention in order to extend its life of service.
