Resumen
The main purpose of this work is to identify patterns and trends in buildings intervened in the historic center of Cuenca such as: construction styles, construction typologies, geometric characteristics, organization of walls, materiality of floors and roofs, masonry resistance, etc. This project is important because it will serve as a study base or starting point for other projects that require information on the architectural, typological, geometric or resistance characteristics of the masonry of buildings in the historic center of Cuenca.
The results show that there is no trend marked with the interventions with respect to changes in the materiality of floors and roofs due to the regulation and intervention permits issued by the Directorate of Historic and Patrimonial Areas of Cuenca in order to conserve the patrimonial value of the buildings. With regard to the organization and modification of walls, it is established that in most cases the percentage value of both the continuity and the alignment of walls in the plant is slightly increased, so that the conditions are improved for an idealization and structural benefit.
It is also important to emphasize that in the results obtained from the compressive strength of adobe and brick masonry, it is established that as buildings are more modern, their materials have greater strength but with a variation of increase in strength for the adobe for the brick.
