Estudo das manifestações patológicas do prédio antigo do Núcleo de Pesquisa Tecnológica (NPT)

Abstract

The present work aims to carry out a case study of the pathological manifestations present in the old building of the Technological Research Center (TRC), located at the Federal University of Alagoas, Maceió. The study aims to identify and describe the various types of pathologies present in the building, their causes and consequences on the structure and functionality of the building. The study was carried out through a comprehensive inspection of the building, including visual observation, measurements and laboratory tests. The results of the study reveal the presence of several types of pathological manifestations, including cracks, displacements, presence of mold, corrosion, among others. It was verified that the causes of these pathological manifestations are related to factors such as aging, environmental conditions and construction techniques used in the construction of the building. The consequences of these pathologies on the structure and functionality of the building were also analyzed, with recommendations for repair and maintenance being proposed. The study provides valuable information on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of pathologies in old buildings, which can be useful for building owners, architects and engineers in the preservation and maintenance of various structures.
