Identificación de lesiones patológicas de la construcción, del mecanismo de falla estructural y recomendaciones de reforzamiento de la casa de la cultura la Palma- Cundinamarca

Abstract

The Culture House of La Palma Cundinamarca as heritage building is approached with a geriatric treatment based on the age of construction and the current state of its structure. This project consists of three stages of study. The first is the Clinical History where it is planned to collect as much technical information as possible to reveal the original architectural concept and structural operation of the property and with this the changes that have occurred in its physical plant over time, this stage will be complemented with a detailed inspection where the injuries suffered on its materials and the possible origin of it can be identified. In the second stage, a diagnosis based on the findings of stage one will be issued, with the intention of rating the patient's response capacity and state of vulnerability, in their current condition, in the presence of an earthquake. And, finally, in the third stage, the technical reasons believed to have led the structure to partial collapse will be concluded, triggering a series of events without subsequent attention until deterioration of the building is achieved. At this stage, a series of recommendations will also be put forward in order to recover their physical plant, if possible, considering the suggested costs of the consultancy for such activity. Although the proposal for the recovery of the property in its entirety constitutes a titanic task, this project aims to expose the greatest number of decisive aspects for such execution.
