Perícias em engenharia civil, relacionadas a manifestações patológicas originadas nas fundações

Abstract

This work aims to study the most common pathological manifestations originating from foundations and how their diagnosis is performed. The growing demand for buildings leads to an increase in production within the civil construction industry and, consequently, a rise in the appearance of pathological manifestations. The occurrence of foundation-related pathologies is very common, and in many cases, their solutions are costly and difficult to implement. To this end, we utilized exploratory research to obtain a literature review and theoretical basis, and an exploratory case study, in which a real expert analysis of a case involving pathological manifestations related to foundations was studied. It was observed that the procedures for identifying pathological manifestations and expert analyses related to foundations lack standardized and accurate methodologies. It is also concluded that these manifestations are difficult to diagnose as their cause is not readily apparent.
