| Sumario: | [EN] El Pilar building is a paradigmatic work of the uruguayan modernity in whose design and construction some of the most outstanding local technicians were involved. The aim of this work is to analyze technical information about the building in order to recognize its technological characteristics, evaluate the impact it had, identify the vulnerabilities it suffers and determine the implications that the decisions taken for its materialization have had on its current state of preservation. The main risks faced by the structure are the failure of the prestressing wires due to stress corrosion cracking, the failure of the reinforcements of the roof beams due to corrosion, and the failure of the tension members due to corrosion or contact with fire. Particular consideration should be given to the fact that some of the most structurally compromised parts are located in areas that are usually inaccessible and brittle failure is possible. |
