Abstract(s)
This work focuses on the
evaluation of the pathological manifestations
presented in the constructive system of cast in- place concrete walls with the use of steel
formwork. The case study was carried out
in a condominium, located in the city of
João Pessoa/PB, composed of 208 housing
units distributed in 13 blocks, each of them
containing 16 apartments. The objective of
this article is to point out the pathological
manifestations reported by the users of
the buildings after the completion of the
construction and the possible failures in
the execution stage. The development of
this study consists basically of a mapping
of the pathologies through the occurrence
reports registered by the users who requested
technical assistance, where it could be
verified that, of the of all occurrences
recorded by the company, around 40% of
them are related to, or are from systems that
interface with concrete walls. In the next step,
an on-site inspection to identify the nature
and origin of the pathologies and diagnose
the situation found seeking a solution to
the problem. It can be concluded that the
adoption of alternative processes used by the
construction company can reduce or even
avoid pathologies interfacing with concrete
walls. Other measures such as the adoption
of curing processes and better maintenance
of steel formwork also appear as important
elements in mitigating the undesirable effects
caused by inadequate execution of concrete
walls.
