The outer chapel built in the Alarife’s courtyard of the Eduardo Torroja Institute was designed as a riblike sheet in 1969 as a symbol of the possibilities that reinforced concrete technology offered at that time. The result was a sheet of reinforced concrete 10 m long and 6.5 m high with thicknesses ranging between 6 and 40 cm and defined from a guideline whose form Lemniscate of Bernoulli. This article studies the behavior that this structure has had 45 years after its construction. A novel tool such as laserscanner has been used for volumetric survey of the three-dimensional structure to perform the calculation using FEM modeling. An evaluation of the damages observed in the sheet, a study of the strains and an analysis of its resistant behavior and structural safety have been made. From the research conducted it can be concluded that the construction can be kept in service performing repairs and maintenance.
