Manifestações patológicas em pisos de granilite e concreto – Estudo de caso

Abstract

This final project aims to analyze the pathological manifestations of terrazzo and concrete flooring in the circulation areas of blocks 300, 400, 500, and 600, as well as the multi-sport court of the Federal Institute of Goiás – Anápolis campus. These floors are widely used in construction due to their strength and durability, but are subject to pathologies that can compromise their functionality and aesthetics. The main objectives were to identify and analyze the main types of failures in these coverings, their probable causes, and possible mitigation solutions. The methodology used consisted of a literature review, using papers on the topic from the Capes Journals database, the Scielo, and Google Scholar platforms. These provided the theoretical basis necessary for the on-site inspection, including photographic records and measurements, resulting in the presentation and analysis of the pathologies found during the inspection. The results showed that the most common pathologies were cracks and fissures in the material, related to construction flaws, missing or inadequate joints, equipment overload, and lack of preventive maintenance. It was found that preventing these pathologies requires not only the adoption of corrective measures, but also the implementation of preventive actions, such as adequate sizing, construction planning, execution in accordance with ABNT standards, and periodic maintenance.
