This problem occurs due to several factors, either due to the difficulty of removing debris from a work in historic centers, or because one does not know what the balance of some constructive elements is. Also often in buildings of historical areas is mandatory to maintain the facades. Therefore, this procedure must be carried out very carefully, in order to avoid instability in the structure, which can lead to serious or fatal accidents, since these are high-risk tasks and preventive measures must be effective. A very effective alternative is the use of wooden beams to act as shoring of facades, exerting an opposition to the operant compressive forces.
