Abstract

The necessity for new buildings because of population growth, associated with technological advancement offered the opportunity for building disordered growth due to the lack of regulations. This fact made it more and more lacking in essential attributes related to performance and minimal technical standards demanded by laws and its complementary laws as well as by current technical standards. The lack of such regulations resulted in frequent occurrence of serious disasters compromising the security in ali its aspects of functionality and durability of constructions. For this reason, this dissertation aimed to determine the incidences of disasters in private and public buildings in the city of Campina Grande - PB. Also, the objectives encompass the normalization and efficacy of existing laws with respect to license and legalized works and the lack of specific disciplinary legislation in the construction industry in regards to its relationship with the consumer market. For this reason, a literature review was done on the overall behavior of the buildings for the minimum parameters pertaining to safety and performance execution based on active Technical Standards and legislation, as well as the surveys in eleven residencies and fourteen public buildings. It was found a high incidence of various disasters mostly by failures in planning, and execution of the projects, use / maintenance and specifícations and / or inappropriate uses of materiais. Standardization and legislation were in need of updating and/or supplementation, on the other hand, undisputed the need for specific, energetic and effective legislation, which disciplines the relationship in the construction industry, between producer and consumer.
