For the restoration of the wooden ceilings of the Convent of Santa Clara, resistography and penetrometer tests, biological studies of the wood, and geomatic techniques for analysis of deformation and dimensioning of the beams were applied. In the present work, the results of the diagnosis showed that 65% of 98 beams is affected by rot and the presence of xylophagous organisms. Density studies by comparison with reference values, showed a loss in the hardness of the wood. The results conclude in the need to replace 17 beams, and the reinforcement of the wood pillars and sections of sliding beams.

Keywords : non-destructive testing; diagnosis; buildings; heritage; geomatics.
