Estudio patológico para intervención de la infraestructura denominada “auditorio municipal” del municipio de Cabuyaro- Meta

Abstract

This study presents a pathological assessment of the municipal auditorium building located in Cabuyaro. The main objective is to identify, analyze, and study the principal pathologies affecting the structure. This assessment arises from the need to understand the current condition of the auditorium and to develop an intervention proposal that would allow the building to be safely used again. The study was carried out using a methodology mainly based on the collection of available information and a detailed visual inspection of the building. During the site visit, several types of damage were observed and recorded in different construction elements, including cracks, fissures, and fractures, as well as efflorescence and corrosion in the reinforcing steel. Photographic records and field observations were used to document the existing conditions of the structure. After gathering the information, the data were organized and analyzed in order to determine the possible causes of the identified pathologies. Factors such as the age of the building, environmental conditions, maintenance practices, and the fact that the structure was designed under the NSR-98 regulation were considered during the evaluation. Additionally, reference is made to some tests commonly used in the evaluation of concrete structures, such as carbonation testing and ultrasonic pulse testing, as part of the technical analysis framework. Finally, a set of recommendations and intervention guidelines are proposed to improve the condition of the auditorium and contribute to its preservation and long-term functionality.
