Comportamiento de las estructuras de madera construidas en la Estancia Jesuítica de Santa Catalina en el siglo XVII

Research on the Estancia Jesuítica de Santa Catalina reveals that wooden structures built by Jesuits in the 17th century exhibit remarkable durability after over 360 years. The study, conducted by Gómez et al., identifies structural typologies and analyzes their physical and mechanical properties to assess safety according to Brazilian standards (BR7190). Macroscopic and microscopic examinations, along with deformation tests, were performed in the Universidad Nacional de Santiago del Estero and a specialized laboratory. Findings highlight the resilience of these historical structures while also identifying pathological manifestations that necessitate conservation interventions. The research underscores the importance of preserving such heritage sites, offering insights into long-term structural integrity and restoration strategies.
