ABSTRACT

Agustín de Betancourt joined the Russian military service on November 30, 1808. In the less than 16 years that destiny granted him in his new homeland, Betancourt built exceptional architectural complexes and undertook engineering works in numerous cities - large and small - of Russia. The Manezh of Moscow is the only work of the great engineer in the City of Moskva River, it was not only an architectural monument, but also a unique masterpiece of 19th century engineering. The work contributes to analysing the problems that existed in the roof of the building and the repair carried out by Bauza, analysing it with the current means of calculating structures. The objective is to be able to model the problems found in the joints by Betancourt and solved with the Bauzá structural solution.
