Investigação das manifestações patológicas em uma edificação na cidade de Patos-PB.

Abstract

The Diagnostic Engineering is the area of Civil Engineering that studies the "diseases" of a building, starting from the "symptoms" (the pathological manifestations) found, to arrive at a "diagnosis" (the causes) and find a "remedy" (the technical repair measures) to correct a certain problem in the building. This work aims to evaluate the pathological manifestations in a building located in the neighborhood Brasília in the city of Patos-PB, using the method of building inspection proposed by the Brazilian Institute of Engineering Evaluations and Expertise of São Paulo (IBAPE-SP). During the inspection, photographic records were made and the pathological manifestations were categorized according to their type, the constructive system in which it was found, the origin, the degree of risk, the possible causes, the GUT classification and, finally, the remedial measures for the problems. After the analysis, adopting the IBAPE method, it was determined that 31.8% of the anomalies found are endogenous, 13.7% functional and 54.5% exogenous. Regarding the degree of risk, 50% of the abnormalities found are considered of minimum degree, 15.9% are of regular degree, and 34.1% of critical degree. Finally, it was concluded that the building is classified as "non-conforming", because there is no maintenance manual, and urgently needs a survey plan that follows the guidelines of the current rules; as for the use and operation, the building is classified as "regular"; already in relation to the degree of risk it is classified as "irregular", for presenting many critical anomalies that puts at risk the safety of the building and people.
