Análise de patologias construtivas nas áreas comuns em um condomínio residencial de médio-baixo padrão

Abstract

The term pathology is present in several areas of knowledge, in civil engineering it refers to the study of diseases in constructions, identifying as failures to raise subsidies that characterize their forms of manifestation, such as their origins and causes. Symptoms can be diverse, but the most common are fissures and infiltrations. The pathologies can originate in the planning phase, project conception, in the execution of the work and during its useful life. Its causes may be related to poorly dimensioned elements, use of inadequate materials, unqualified labor, aggressive agents in the environment, natural deterioration of the building, among others. If the occurrence of pathological manifestations reduce the life of the building, it is extremely important to carry out a diagnosis in order to carry out corrective measures to solve them, not only solving the requirements, but also those that cause discomfort to users. This work seeks to approach the basic concepts of pathological study in civil engineering, describing the systems of pathological manifestations, as their causes and origins. It was made, also, a case study in in a low-medium residential condominium, in which, by visual inspection, several pathological manifestations were identified and, later, the realization of the pathological report containing description, possible causes and solutions. It was found that the most recurrent pathological manifestations were infiltrations, about 36% of the total, and fissures/cracks, with about 30% of the total.
