San Jerónimo de Yuste buildings are located in Bogotá, on sloping ground, in the foothills of the city. These buildings were built between 2008 and 2011 by the company BIO Construcciones, as part of a broader development project promoted by the family compensation fund Compensar. During the months of May and June 2013 the slope suffered both vertical and horizontal displacements that visibly damaged two of the buildings, which were then evacuated. This paper presents the studies conducted by the Architecture and Engineering Schools at Universidad de los Andes, in order to determine the causes that led to movement, estimate the safety factor and propose interventions at the geotechnical and structural levels which would allow the recovery of the affected buildings.
