Concreto armado: um estudo sobre o processo histórico, características, durabilidade, proteção e recuperação de suas estruturas

Abstract

This study lists the different types of concrete, additional materials that compose it, households and the conditions of its durability. And its main focus, report the additional materials that compose it, households and the conditions of its durability. We also point out the probable causes of deterioration that may occur under adverse conditions in structures built in exposed reinforced concrete, in addition to highlighting, according to the theoretical framework studied forms of maintenance, conservation and restoration of concrete, with some technical electrochemical sophisticated for rehabilitation of concrete structures, such as desalination and realkalisation, not yet used in Brazil. As a methodological option, the study included a literature review in electronic proceedings and periodicals, fichamentos and highlight the relevant factors, thus resulting in systematic practices of construction professionals for the importance of maintenance, maximizing the service life of structures and maintaining the reliability and user preferences.
