Análise das manifestações patológicas em uma edificação: definição das prioridades de intervenção pela Matriz Gut e elaboração de plano de ação

Abstract

Buildings are susceptible to a myriad of pathological manifestations arising from design inadequacies, construction deficiencies, natural degradation, inadequate upkeep, and environmental factors. Safeguarding the functionality and safety of these structures mandates meticulous scrutiny and monitoring of these manifestations to accurately ascertain their causative factors and origins. Thus, the primary aim of this investigation is to comprehensively analyze the pathological manifestations exhibited in a building in Rio Grande do Norte, utilizing Diagnostic Engineering methodologies to meticulously discern potential causes and origins. Moreover, the severity, immediacy, and trends of each manifestation were meticulously evaluated employing the GUT method to prioritize intervention strategies. Consequently, an exhaustive action plan was meticulously formulated employing the 5W2H methodology. The total inventory revealed 188 instances of manifestations, with delineation as follows: 35% in masonry; 23% in flooring; 12% in drywall partitions; 11% in fenestration; 9% in ceramic claddings; 4% in ceilings; 4% in plumbing installations; and 2% in electrical installations. Urgent pathological conditions predominantly centered on floor unevenness, likely stemming from settlement issues, whereas less pressing concerns pertained to maintenance lapses in hydraulic and metallic components.
