Diagnóstico e propostas de intervenções mitigadoras das manifestações patológicas da Orla Fluvial Altemar Dutra em Piranhas – AL

Abstract

The population growth of the last decades denoted the need for investments in infrastructure, which, executed at an accelerated pace, evidenced the lack of skilled labor, planning and control of the construction process. The failures resulting from the design, execution and absence of maintenance phases are expressed as pathological manifestations throughout the structure service life. Along those lines, it is importante to study and diagnose the pathologies causes, origins and forms of action, as well as the possible interventions and precautions that must be taken and the therapies to treat it. Therefore, this work develops a diagnosis as well as proposes some interventions on the pathological manifestations of the Altemar Dutra Waterfront in the city of Piranhas-AL. To do so, we performed tests, building surveys, users interviews and researched the building history in detail, aiming to achieve the highest possible degree of objectivity to obtain an adequate damages diagnosis. In the building analyzed in this work, the main pathological manifestations are visual and resultant of the water action, such as efflorescence, biological dirt and moisture spots. Despite the tests limitations, we concluded that the building performance is not totally adequated and it requires corrective maintenance in order to restore its ideal use conditions to ensure safety, comfort and protection to its users.
