Engenharia diagnóstica por meio de perícia de engenharia civil : estudo e análise das fissuras, trincas, rachaduras e brechas das edificações do Bairro Monte Castelo em Contagem/MG

Abstract

The present work aims to identify and analyze the pathological manifestations of cracks, fissures and gaps in homes located in the Monte Castelo neighborhood in Contagem/MG. According to Civil Defense, in the universe of 30 buildings, 16 houses suffered total closure, 7 partial closures and 7 without closure. In the case study carried out, the main pathological manifestations of a high level of risk with regard to the structural structure of the buildings were identified through on-site inspections, analysis and collection of documents, seeking to identify the probable causes and the diagnosis regarding of the problem. It is important to highlight that pathological manifestations such as cracks, fissures and gaps are a warning for the building, showing that it has some deformity that is compromising the quality, durability and useful life. In view of the studies carried out, it is agreed that the cracks, fissures and gaps inclined at 45º are evident in the buildings built, probably due to a recalculation of the foundation possibly caused by the occurrence of leaks in the networks of the Copasa Concessionaire. Therefore, it is concluded that the pathological problems observed in the residences impose a high degree of risk on residents in relation to structural stability and, therefore, the buildings are partially or completely closed to Civil Defense.
