Abstract

The present work is a survey of the pathological manifestations present in a water reservoir located at Delmiro Gouveia- LA made of reinforced concrete and the necessary preventive and corrective measures to heal them. The present failures evidenced the lack of qualified manpower and planning during ineffective corrective interventions, reducing the life of the structure. With this in mind, the importance of a diagnosis to identify the causes, origins and forms of action of the pathologies, as well as preventive measures and therapies appropriate to the treatment of these occurrences. For the diagnosis, surveys, essays and conversations about the history of the work under study, in order to obtain reliable information with as little subjectivity as possible. It was found the presence of pathological manifestations linked to the excessive presence of water, such as efflorescences and stains humidity, and the main cause attributed was the lack of waterproofing inside the reservoir. Despite the limitation on non-destructive testing, the analysis was sufficient to conclude the reservoir is performing poorly and needs urgent maintenance, to provide a service compatible with the proper storage of treated water.
