Resumen:
The geometric configuration of the structure of the nave of conventual
temples built by mendicant orders in Mexico during the 16th century and
its relationship with the damage caused by the September 19, 2017,
earthquake is studied. The area of study is the convent complexes of
Morelos state, where the Franciscan, Dominican and Augustinian mendicant
orders built their first architectural works outsaid the Mexico City.
The type of vault, arrangement and proportions of the architectural plan
of the nave and its structural elements were considered. With these data
and with the support of traditional structural rules, it was possible to
classify the nave of the church and relate basic geometric indicators
with the damage produced by earthquakes. This empirical method allows us
to identify one of the possible causes of the damage level related to
the geometry of the structure and can serve as basis for rigorous and
detailed studies that consider other factors influencing seismic
behavior.
