Avaliação patológica de uma edificação em concreto armado na cidade de Dourados – MS

Abstract

When a reinforced concrete construction is completed, it is expected to encounter all the requirements set out in the standard, meeting the specification of durability and comfort imposed. In view of this, the need arises to take due care when designing and executing the structural elements in order to avoid the appearance of problems that could compromise the useful life of the structure. The present work consists of a case study, in which an existing building was analyzed in the city of Dourados – MS, in order to list structural problems that occur in the reinforced concrete, proposing solutions and preventive measures. Initially, an analysis was made of which pathological manifestations were found in the structure, listing characteristics, longterm consequences and probable causes. Subsequently, what are the corrective and preventive measures for the problems encountered, aiming at the preservation of the work itself. At the end of the study, it was found that many of the problems were due to execution errors. This shows the impact that the investment in inspection and skilled labor has in relation to the useful life of the structure.
