Manifestações patológicas em elementos estruturais de concreto armado encontradas no Campus I da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande - PB.

Abstract

The present work deals with the main pathological manifestations found in structural elements of reinforced concrete in the Campus I of the Federal University of Campina Grande, with the objective of analyzing them, diagnosing their possible causes and origins, and proposing a treatment for adequate maintenance. For this, a bibliographic review is made addressing the phases where pathological problems may arise, the main deterioration mechanisms, and cleaning, recovery and reinforcement techniques. Next, case studies are presented in three buildings, identifying pathological problems through visual inspection and classifying with the GUT method which situations need to be corrected with greater urgency; As well as to identify if the problem originated in the design phase, execution, use or if it was due to the construction materials. Finally, the results of the studies performed are analyzed, establishing a comparison between the evaluated structures and indicating the phase(s) that develops pathology more often.
