Mapeamento e identificação de manifestações patológicas nas instalações da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso Campus Universitário do Araguaia – Campus II

Abstract

Although the Civil Construction Industry has been unstable in the past few years, it has started to rebuild and regain its importance in Brazil's economic scenario. However, even with technological advances and standards that aim to ensure the quality of buildings, it’s regular the incident of pathological manifestations. Pathological manifestations can occur in the most diverse stages of the productive process, so it’s necessary a study indicating the most recurrent causes of pathologies, as well as eventual solutions for these anomalies, in order to avoid the reappearance of these irregularities. In this context, this work brings some important concepts for understanding of this issue and carries out a study at the Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso Campus Universitário do Araguaia – Campus II, where it was possible to identify a significant amount of pathologies present on campus, among them: stains, efflorescence, molds, cracks, problems in paint coatings, among others. The repair suggestions considered the source of the problems. It was understood that the campus needs an efficient program of constant inspection/maintenance to ensure the fulfillment of the expected useful life.
