Principais manifestações patológicas em edificações institucionais: estudo de caso no IFG - Câmpus Anápolis.

Abstract

Pathological manifestations in buildings can cause significant damage, such as reduced structural performance and durability, discomfort and insecurity for users, increased repair costs, and, in more critical situations, the risk of structural collapse. In this context, the present study aimed to identify, through in loco investigation, the pathological manifestations present in the building of the Federal Institute of Goiás – Anápolis Campus, classifying them according to their possible causes and proposing appropriate technical solutions for their correction and prevention. The methodology adopted was based on visual building inspection, supported by photographic records, anamnesis, and analysis of structural elements, grounded in the principles of diagnostic engineering. The identified pathological manifestations were evaluated considering the affected structural element, their classification, possible causes, prognosis, corrective therapies, and preventive measures. The results evidenced the occurrence of several pathological manifestations in the analyzed building, indicating that the lack of adequate waterproofing, combined with deficient preventive maintenance, was the main factor responsible for the emergence and worsening of these anomalies. Thus, it is concluded that an accurate diagnosis of pathological manifestations is only possible through an integrated analysis that considers the anomalies as a whole, seeking to understand their origins, causes, location, and potential evolution. Such an approach is essential for defining effective corrective and preventive measures, contributing to increased durability, performance, and conservation of public institutional assets.
