Patologias em revestimentos cerâmicos: um estudo de caso nos edifícios multifamiliares e comerciais, no bairro Renascença II, em São Luís – MA

Abstract

In this work, the process of verticalization of the city of São Luís and the advancement of civil construction in certain parts of the city were contextualized. The use of ceramic coatings on building facades is a viable option for construction companies seeking to combine aesthetics and functionality, bringing visual identity and protection to the building. However, this type of coating, if poorly executed or using inappropriate materials, can cause pathological manifestations on the facades, such as ceramic detachment. A case study was carried out in multi-family and commercial buildings in the Renascença II neighborhood, in São Luís – MA, which is currently suffering from this pathology in several buildings, seeking to discover the possible causes that give rise to this pathology and possible solutions.
