Resumen
Even though a new type of precast structures that complies with current Ecuadorian construction codes are under construction for Schools; there are still old buildings in operation. That is the case for Antonio Ávila Maldonado high Scholl funded in April 1927. Its structure presents significant damage on different elements, being this a potential problem in the future for safety.
In order to draw solution alternatives, this work develops a comprehensive evaluation of the structure from the pathological point of view, by performing non-destructive and semi destructive tests, as for example: carbonation tests, rebound hammer tests, specimen extraction for lab testing, soil testing, etc. In addition, by using this information, structural models were developed to see if the current structure complied with the Ecuadorian construction codes (NEC-2011, ACI-318S-14)
Finally, intervention alternatives are shown for maintenance and rehabilitation.
