Patologias em revestimentos de fachada

Abstract

The study of pathologies in construction, but specifically in the coating of the facades, has advanced considerably in recent years, accompanied by all technological developments in the construction industry. The facade cladding has several functions, among them the protection of the construction of pathologies. These pathological manifestations are due to several factors, the main ones being: design errors, the use of inadequate construction methods, poor quality materials and lack of control of the execution stages. These conditions interfere with the life of the building, and the greater the degree of deterioration, the greater the costs for possible repairs, which will exceed exponentially the cost of preventive maintenance. The recurrent pathological manifestations found in façades of buildings in the municipality of Cabedelo, mainly in relatively new constructions, that is, that did not exceed the useful life of the same, was the motivation for the accomplishment of this work. A photographic survey was carried out on buildings that presented pathological manifestations, being these diagnosed and presented suggestions of therapeutic interventions appropriate to each case.
