Identificação de manifestações patológicas e recuperação de edificações: um estudo de caso

Abstract

The present work performs a case study, in a qualitative way, of the pathological manifestations in buildings, paying attention to the diagnosis of the phenomenon and the possible therapies that will be carried out. In this way, verified, the viability and use of the information discussed can be verified. Initially a theoretical foundation is made in which it exposes basic concepts about reinforced concrete and pathologies in construction, later it is demonstrated possible origins and causes of pathological manifestations. Then, some materials that are most used in works and, consequently, in repairs and recoveries were presented. Finally, a case study was developed referring to a townhouse, in order to verify the present pathological manifestations and their possible solutions, with the purpose of making the house habitable again. Thus, one can reflect on the importance and caution that must be taken in all stages of the elaboration of a building, and that these precautions continue even after the completion of the work.
