Geologic discontinuities affecting the Aguascalientes valley have produced several cases of structural damage in buildings. In this research, damage and their relationship with the activity of a fault are presented and analyzed. The studied zone is Pabellon
de Hidalgo, municipality of Rincon de Romo, Aguascalientes, in which approximately 32 buildings present risk of collapsing by the activity of a geologic fault. The methodology of this research consisted of a statistical analysis of damage to buildings and in
sequentially monitoring displacements for a maximum period of 63 days through 17 fissurometers placed in the affected buildings along the fault, which were mainly homes. The statistical analysis using standard deviation showed maximum frequencies in the cracks in buildings of 0.170 to 0.961in length; 0.015 to 0.531 cm in maximum apertures, and 33.75° to 45° in
dip angles.
