Abstract


The main aim consists on improving the information technology tools in order to make models of the real situation (constructive, geometrical, resistant) of the structural elements, as well as getting the restoration or support proposals. We have developed the work in some stages:

– Analysis,inspection, measurement, and evolution of the building.
– Extraction and analysis in laboratory of small samples of masonry walls to determine the strength parameters of materials.
– Experimental studie for determination of a model and obtaining the compression stresses of the masonry walls studied.
– The monitoring instrumentation which has been used is an accelerograph to evaluate the rigidity of the walls.
– Application of Finite Elements Method in order to obtain the stresses distribution before and after any change in the building. The final aim is to be able to compare the results from the laboratory and the stresses distribution from the F.E.M., in order to decide the best way of getting the restoration.
