Manifestações Patológicas em Reservatórios de Água: Estudo de caso

Abstract

This reserach proposed a study on the pathological manifestations of reinforced concrete reservoirs in the Goiânia-GO Water Supply System. An analysis of pathological manifestations was carried out in 5 concrete reservoirs of the Goiânia – GO Water Supply System, using the methodology proposed by Lichtenstein. During an inspection, visual inspection and scanning of the walls were carried out to detect the thickness of the covering. The following pathological manifestations were detected: poor coverage, corrosion of reinforcement, concrete spalling, efflorescence, erosion, fissures and cracks, mold and humidity. Therapies have been proposed to remedy pathological manifestations and restore reservoirs to full functioning. In general, the reservoirs present practically the same pathological manifestations in an advanced degree of impairment, proving that both the age of construction (around 40 years) and the stage of development of the structures are no longer the final phase of their useful life, requiring high investment to carry out. of repairs.
