Las obras arquitectónicas de referencia y más representativas de la última década están caracterizadas por una acentuación de su intención de distinguirse sobre otras actuaciones que puedan relacionarse con ellas, bien por encuadrarse dentro de una misma tipología edificatoria en alguna de sus múltiples facetas o bien por el simple hecho de...

This paper aim, on one hand, to describe the structural response of "Homenaje Tower", one of the towers of the Historical Complex of the Alhambra, in Granada (Spain) and, on the other hand, to look over the different techniques used in the structural analysis of historical buildings, applying them to the tower to assess the scope of each of...

One of the first difficulties that can be detected in finite element models of historical buildings is the high level of uncertainty associated with many factors affecting the actual behaviour of the structure. Often the inaccuracies in this model will arise because of poorly known boundary conditions, unknown material properties or...

El monasterio de San Jerónimo de Buenavista en Sevilla fue construido en 1414. Desde entonces ha sufrido grandes daños, manteniéndose en la actualidad solamente el claustro principal. Este último incluso sufrió daños de consideración ocasionados por el terremoto de marzo de 1969. El claustro de dos plantas presenta arcos de medio punto en...

En la última década, ha venido emergiendo un nuevo tipo de edificio en altura. Se trata de rascacielos inclinados u ondulados que, desafiando toda la lógica edificatoria que supone la conservación de la verticalidad, se convierten en auténticos hitos e iconos arquitectónicos. El reconocimiento de este último aspecto está conduciendo a la...

La capilla de la Jura fue construida a finales del siglo XVI. Se trata de una construcción de marcado estilo gótico, situada en el lado del Evangelio del gran ábside de la iglesia de San Juan de los Caballeros. El recinto posee planta cuadrada, se levanta en cantería y se cubre con una bóveda estrellada cuyos plementos son de ladrillo. Los...

Balthasar Neumann was a German Baroque architect with a wide experience on the design and construction of geometrically singular masonry vaults. Understanding the complex behaviour of this masonry vaults appears as a fundamental aspect to ensure its proper preservation. It is well known that historical heritage has to be preserved and different...

The use of Operational Modal Analysis is establishing as an acceptable tool for the update of numerical models. Through its application, mechanical properties of structural elements, as stiffness or mass, can be obtained with great accuracy. The analysis of the current structural state of the Monastery of San Jerónimo, an important piece of...

This paper addresses the structural safety assessment of the Chapel of the Würzburg Residence (Germany), one of the most important churches of the Central European Baroque. It was declared as World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1981, one of its most unique and distinctive characteristics is the geometry of its complex vaults. Intersections between...

The assessment of the structural health of historical constructions is needed to carry out correct diagnoses and implement proper decision making strategies in the preservation built cultural heritage. In order to provide information about the state of different structural elements of the Monastery of San Jer´onimo de Buenavista, in Seville...

San Cristóbal's is a porous sandstone that is present in masonry structures of numerous historical buildings located in the southwest of Spain (15th–18th centuries). In order to guarantee conservation and structural integrity, most of these structures have been assessed during the last two decades after they presented severe damages in...

This work presents a relationship between static and dynamic elastic moduli for San Cristóbal's stone, which was used to build some of the most representative historical constructions in Andalusia (Spain) during 15th-18th centuries, including religious, military and civil buildings. Numerical models are able to provide useful information in...

Today's society is sensitive to the architectural heritage conservation. This implies to perform works to maintain these buildings and to assure their structural security. In the last years, the structural analysis of historical masonry constructions has experienced a great progress, thanks to the use of techniques based on the study of the...

La alteración de la Piedra arenisca es una inquietud para los técnicos y restauradores del patrimonio histórico, ya que es la piedra base de muchos edificios de nuestro patrimonio histórico. En este trabajo nos vamos a centrar en la piedra extraída en el Cerro de San Cristóbal, situada en el Puerto de Santa María (Cádiz). Una de las...

The preservation of the architectural heritage is a fundamental aspect in the cultural development of modern cities. This heritage has to be preserved and different technical analysis are usually necessary to ensure its proper preservation. Due to this fact, before performing these analyses, non-destructive techniques are usually an...

In recent years, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) based on Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) and damage detection tools has become a popular non-destructive solution to assess the real-time integrity of any kind of structure. This technique is especially well-suited for the condition-based conservation of historical structures, where minimal...
