Abstract
been made in the best Colombian universities, focused on the properties of materials and the behavior of the structuralearth systems when subject to seismic forces. These investigations have been innovating and have been basedon international studies. Nevertheless, in order for these studies to have a real impact, they must be included in theearthquake Colombian resistant code (NSR-10), which at the moment does not include specific sections on how torehabilitate earth constructions subjected to seismic forces. Therefore the authors, who have worked for more thanone decade in rehabilitation and restoration of earth constructions, present in this document a draft proposal for theseismic rehabilitation of earth buildings in order to be included in the next update of the earthquake resistant code ofthe Republic of Colombia.This document is a draft of a proposed rule that the authors want, in the near future, to present to the ColombianAssociation of Seismic Engineering, the Colombian Society of Engineers and the Colombian Association of StructuralEngineering for it to be studied, analyzed and worked as a development basis regulating the seismic rehabilitation ofpatrimonial buildings on land in Colombia. The authors also wish to thank the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana and especiallythe Faculties of Architecture and Design and Engineering for their support for the implementation of this proposal.Apuntes is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
