Resumen
The objective of this study is to evaluatenumerically the current damage
state of asixteenth century colonial masonry structure, corresponding to an
Augustiniantemple. It consists of anave andbelltower, which forms part of
aConventuallocatedin Copándarode Galeana, Michoacan. It is presumed
thatthisbuilding haslarge deformations andvisible cracksdueto the effect
ofdifferential settlement, seismic events,empiricalstructural adaptations, etc.. The
use ofcomputer programsfor analysismodels will allow the incorporation
ofnonlinearthermodynamic typematerialsfor thestudy of the evolutionof damage
inthe wallsof the structure.The results ofthis paper will allowto
reproducenumerically theactual state ofthe structure and to make
astructuraldiagnosisby identifying the most vulnerableareastoseismic risk.
