Diagnose and repair of domed elements of masonry

Abstract

In this work there is exposed a method of repair of domed elements of Masonry consists of an analysis of its current and initial state; an analysis tensional by means of the software CARYBO; a diagnosis; and a treatment based on application of a special mortar of base NHL.The object of the repair is not to return it to the damaged element its initial geometry, but simply its initial presentations, though for it one relies on a different geometry.For the check of the same one two models have realized to scale, one with a leaf of brick and exactly equal other one more a reinforcement based on the mentioned mortar. Both have been submitted to extreme actions up to the collapse in order to verify its behavior.The method consists of implementing basically in the factory a product, that though new, it has the same mechanical and chemical characteristics that the proper factory. And to implement it in those places where it is necessary and with the necessary dose, according to a rigorous analysis.
