Structural Evaluation of Historical Buildings Used as a Museums in Toluca City

Abstract eng:
As part of the rescue of historical buildings in Toluca's Municipality program, the State of Mexico Government developed a historical building restoration plan. This program contemplates house buildings constructed from the 18th century to beginning of the 20th, with special cultural value. At present these buildings are destined for thematic museums. In the present work the buildings structural evaluation is reported, which contemplates the construction classification according to its architectural and cultural value, the structural safety review both for gravitational actions and lateral seismic effects. The evaluation process contemplates architectonic and cultural classification, as well as their structural evaluation and maintenance programs. For the structural evaluation the following stages were contemplated: Summary of geometric information, materials properties evaluation, gravity loads and seismic evaluations. The seismic building performance was estimated from base shear acting and resisting relation.
