ABSTRACT
The vaulted systems of the colonial city of Quito are key to the construction history of its former main churches, mostly made of brick and stone masonry; whose singular structural characteristic bears continuous earthquakes. Recently, several restoration and structural reinforcement interventions have taken place to ensure their conservation. This in turn, has produced some studies with a number of architectural surveys. These have been compiled and systematized with comparative tables, aimed at presenting a graphic resource with schematic plans and sections, which at the same time, collect various data related to their origin and construction. As a result, it is possible to have the first comparative graphics of these structures from ten of the most important colonial churches in Quito.
