Manifestações patológicas na construção civil: revisão bibliográfica para identificação de problemas e estratégias para preservação

Abstract

Assessing, diagnosing and preserving properties affected by pathologies are essential steps to prevent problems from becoming more serious, offering safety to users and ensuring the longevity of buildings. Maintaining the integrity of structures through efficient preventive maintenance ensures protection while also contributing to the sustainability and preservation of architectural heritage, avoiding waste and high costs in the future. The objective, therefore, was to investigate the influence of pathological manifestations in civil construction, aiming at the evaluation, diagnosis and preservation of properties. Methodologically, it was an exploratory and comparative bibliographic review based on qualitative research. As a result, it was found that conservation measures are not always easy and can entail high costs, especially in older buildings, where losses can be considerable. Therefore, a thorough assessment of the pathology, combined with appropriate planning of resources and techniques, is essential to ensure the effectiveness of repairs and the lasting maintenance of buildings. It was also concluded that defects identified in constructions require a thorough examination and efficient corrective actions to ensure the safety and longevity of buildings. Carrying out an appropriate diagnosis, along with well-planned and implemented corrective actions, can prevent the deterioration of structures and help create a safer urban environment.
