Abstract

In this paper, the design and causes of deterioration of the Winter Garden located in the Eduardo Torroja Institute (IETcc) in Madrid, as well as the structural rehabilitation works are discussed. The structural and architectural scheme devised by E. Torroja is examined using numerical analysis under dead load. This
will allow the failure pattern of the arches and shells to be assessed, as a consequence of water ingress through the cracks formed and settlement, as also the effectiveness of the repair techniques applied.
