The use of concrete without adequate quality control, is in the design phase, implementation or use, It can lead to the appearance of several structural abnormalities, creating aesthetic problems or even jeopardizing the security and functionality of the structure.
The defects presented in a project have the following characteristics: cracks, carbonation, corrosion, displacements and deformations coatings.
pathologies or structural disease are divided into human error and natural causes. In the first category, we mention errors in the calculation of structural design, deficiencies in concrete (transport, launch, together concreting, densification, care), imperfection in armor, technological control inappropriate, inappropriate use of the structure, Failure to comply with the maintenance plan, quality control of absence, besides using low quality materials.
In natural causes, aggressive substances present in the environment and emissions into the atmosphere which degrade the material (much steel as concrete), are some examples.
To correct problems and anomalies in a building, a diagnosis of pathologies is necessary along with a plan for safety assurance.
