Abstract
This paper presents a methodology for determining the mechanical properties of the masonry elements by mean of seismic techniques and how these are included in a numerical model of a case study of a building. This work presents partial results of a research in process of doctoral thesis. It is part of the line of Non-Destructive Test (NDT) in situ that uses the measuring of seismic waves travel time to obtain shear and compressional waves; with these parameters it is possible to obtain the mechanical properties of the masonry of ancient buildings as Young’s Module, Poisson Ratio and density. The obtained data comes from a case study, the Temple of San Antonio de Padua, located in Aguascalientes, Mexico. In addition, a numerical model developed in SAP2000 is presented with the characterized properties obtained from the analysis. Results of this research will contribute future numerical analysis because it will be possible to obtain the values of each part of the building, and in this way, offer more reliable information about the behavior of the building.
