Pathologies in Construction Works

Construction in Brazil has been growing in such a way that quantity is often more important than quality. Most of the buildings being constructed today are starting to show pathologies before the minimum expected period reducing the performance and useful life of the structure. Professionals specialising in pathologies have the task of analysing pathological manifestations by gathering the necessary information for a diagnosis in which they hypothesise the possible causes of a pathology. This work aims to compare pathologies found in newly delivered buildings with structures that have been in use for years by analysing the causes and effects of pathological manifestations found in the structure.
