Abstract

History, situation and reinforcement of the bell towers of the basilica of Penha-Recife-Brazil

ABSTRACT

This paper presents and discusses the history, current situation, original techniques and strategies used in the development of structural reinforcement design of both towers of the Basilica of Penha Church. Repair techniques poorly designed, conducted in 1981, along with lack of preventive maintenance, leaks and even the growth of bushes embedded in the masonry led to the instability of the towers of the Basilica of Penha Church.

Keywords: reinforcing masonry; historic monuments; reinforcement techniques; execution strategies; carbon fibers.

 

Histórico, situación y refuerzo de los campanarios de la basílica de la Penha-Recife-Brasil

RESUMEN

En este trabajo se presentan y discuten el histórico, situación actual, técnicas y estrategias originales empleadas en el desarrollo del diseño de refuerzo estructural de ambos campanarios de la Basílica de la Iglesia de Penha. Técnicas de reparación mal diseñadas, llevadas a cabo en 1981, junto con ausencia de mantenimiento preventivo, filtraciones e incluso el crecimiento de arbustos incrustados en la mampostería, llevaron a la inestabilidad de los campanarios de la Basílica de la Iglesia de la Penha.

Palabras clave: fortalecimiento de albañilería; monumentos históricos; técnicas de refuerzo; estrategias de implementación; fibras de carbono.
