Rehabilitación estructural de edificaciones patrimoniales. Caso de estudio edificación en el centro histórico de Cuenca.

Abstract

This document focuses on analyzing the structural behavior of a building located in the historic center of the city of Cuenca, characterized by the use of various construction materials such as wattle and daub, wood, adobe, and brick. Through visual inspection, different pathologies have been identified. Most of these dysfunctions are attributable to prolonged exposure to adverse weather conditions and the lack of maintenance that the construction components have experienced over time. In a more detailed context, tests were conducted to determine the physical and mechanical properties of the elements that comprise the building, which has permitted a comprehensive assessment of the state of conservation of materials and their composition. Within this framework, nonlinear pushover analysis was implemented as an essential tool for assessing structural behavior and ensuring occupational safety. Finally, some suggestions are made for intervention in walls using materials compatible with the building, such as geogrids or wooden staples, to improve resistance and stability.
