Abstract


In this work, we analyse the pathologies of the building “Celler Cooperativo” in “ Rocafort de Queralt”, included in the National Patrimony of Catalonia. This building was designed by the architect César Martinell. Based on “linear elastic” behavior, we determine a cracking patterns in the affected areas of the structure, but we do not intend to get the masonry mechanics characteristics.
