Resumen
The objective of this study is to evaluate the current damage state of a
sixteenth century colonial masonry structure, corresponding to an Augustinian
temple. It consists of a nave and bell tower, which forms part of a Conventual
located in Copándaro de Galeana, Michoacan. It is presumed that this building has
large deformations and visible cracks due to the effect of differential settlement,
seismic events, empirical structural adaptations, etc. The use of computer
programs for analysis models will allow the incorporation of non linear
thermodynamic materials for the study of the damage evolution of the structure.
The results of this paper will allow to reproduce numerically the actual state of the
structure and to make a structural diagnosis by identifying the most vulnerable
areas to seismic risk.
