Sistema de fachadas na construção civil : um estudo de caso sobre patologias em revestimentos cerâmicos

Abstract

The present study addressed the issue of building inspection as one of the services related to diagnostic engineering for the identification of constructive pathologies. The technique of property valuation was considered to require technical and specialized knowledge that involve various branches of engineering, especially economic engineering. We sought to answer how the building inspection can guide decision making regarding the restoration work to which a building must be submitted. The general objective was to develop a study with the inspection of building pathologies on the facades of buildings, their diagnoses, and inspections, defining maintenance activities. The methodology of bibliographic review and case study was adopted to analyze the Diagnostic Engineering Report on Buildings to identify anomalies in the façade system of the building condominium Mirante da Serra, located in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. The importance of inspection for building maintenance was found, especially with regard to the useful life of buildings when conducted systematically. Although limited to analyzing only the Condominium of Edifício Mont Serrat, it serves as support material for similar cases.
