Engenharia diagnóstica e sua importância para a durabilidade das edificações: proposta de plano de manutenção para uma edificação

Abstract

The need to break the paradigm that buildings are eternal is a dilemma that needs to be treated with more attention, even in view of constant accidents that are reported by the media, there is still much to be done. It is necessary to demystify that the buildings do not need care. Buildings are a direct part of the development of civilization, man needs shelter for his rest, for his work. Buildings as well as the human body need care so that they can use their useful life with full performance. This is what diagnostic engineering applies. In order to take care of buildings, diagnostic engineering makes use of diagnostic tools to achieve the total quality of buildings as close as possible. It is not uncommon to find buildings that in less than 5 years of use already show pathological manifestations, something that is extremely worrying. In Brazil, there is a big change to be made regarding adherence to the practice of taking care of our buildings. And with the collaboration of diagnostic tools this scenario tends to change. The habit of carrying out inspections on real estate is something already adopted in other developed countries, something that brings security to users and ensures the property's equity value. This subject will be addressed in this research, focusing on the building inspection tool as a preventive activity, working together with the practice of preventive and corrective maintenance to achieve the total quality of buildings, proving that when carried out periodically, it prevents tragedies that have lately become common, simple attitudes that could prevent major accidents. This work aims to carry out the inspection and inspection processes in a single family building. In which pathological manifestations were identified, identified as cracks, concrete breakdown, ceramic coating cracking, moisture stains, non-conformities in the hydraulic and electrical systems. Right after their classifications are made regarding their origin, which can be an anomaly or failure, followed by the indication of recovery and prevention. Finally, the elaboration of a matrix of gravity, urgency and tendency, to identify the most relevant problem.
