De la construcción entramada a la introducción de estructuras metálicas en Madrid

Abstract

The study of buildings that have been preserved carried out by an analytical approach to original construction contracts, together with several damaged structures checked, has led to an overall timber frame house's analysis. This approach could be divided into three main sections: first, traditional construction methods in Madrid from 1669 to nineteen hundred, within context. Next, a graphic analysis attending to information covered in construction contracts and the fact of being able to get information from buildings. Finally, it is shown an extended approach to case studies in buildings that have been preserved. This investigation is supported by a deep study of a particular corner of Madrid considered as a transition case study from timber frame systems to the introduction of iron columns and steel structures. Original construction method revealed could lead to focus on main pathologies of most of the houses built in Madrid before nineteen hundred.
