Patologia em estruturas de concreto armado: estudo de caso em edificações do campus i da universidade federal da paraíba

Abstract

Despite the technological and normative evolution in the civil construction industry in recent years, the pathological manifestations continue to appear in buildings of different ages. Reinforced concrete structures interact with the environment to which they are inserted and can suffer loss of performance, thus reducing the shelf life for which they were designed. There are a number of factors that can accelerate deterioration processes: the use of poor quality materials, ill-conceived projects, and the lack of control of the execution stages. However, like any other material, reinforced concrete needs care and maintenance throughout its life. The pathological manifestations present in the Campus I buildings of the Federal University of Paraíba motivated the completion of this course, which was developed with the purpose of presenting the importance of understanding the causes and origins of these problems, directing preventive and maintenance. The work brings a pathological investigation in different buildings of Campus I, of the UFPB in João Pessoa - PB, diagnosing the problems through visual inspection and suggesting appropriate therapeutic interventions for each case
