MANUTENÇÃO PREDIAL: ANÁLISE DAS PRINCIPAIS PATOLOGIAS

This paper addresses the main pathologies in civil construction, focusing on the analysis of causes, effects and solutions for defects that compromise the durability and safety of buildings. The objective of the study is to highlight the importance of preparing detailed projects, executing construction processes in accordance with Brazilian technical standards and using preventive maintenance as essential factors to avoid the emergence of the most recurrent pathologies identified, such as: cracks, fissures, splits, infiltrations, carbonation of concrete and corrosion of reinforcements. As a result, it was observed that the inadequate choice of materials and the lack of qualified labor are indicated as the most significant factors for the emergence of the pathologies listed above. Thus, building maintenance is essential to ensure that structures achieve the planned durability, avoiding high costs with future repairs and ensuring the safety and functionality of buildings.
