Manifestações patológicas geradas pela umidade: estudo de caso do residencial universitário, UFRB, Cruz das Almas – BA.

Abstract

Pathological manifestations due to humidity have always been a major discomfort for civil construction, generating unhealthy environment conditions, compromising people's health, shortening the building's useful life, among others. Therefore, this pathology can arise due to construction, accidental, ascending, precipitation, condensation and hygroscopicity. Given the above, this research aims to study the possible pathological manifestations of the UFRB university residence on the Cruz das Almas-BA campus. Specifically to carry out surveys on the building, identify and analyze anomalies. To carry out the survey of pathological manifestations, the Lichtenstein method was adopted, with visual inspection, photographic records and records by means of technical files, seeking to analyze the possible causes of the pathological manifestations and the degree of associated risk, according to the norm of National Inspection Standard of the Brazilian Institute of Engineering Assessment and Expertise (IBAPE) inspection. In the end, it was analyzed that the studied anomalies were verified in the whole building, being that the possible causes of pathological manifestations more visible were precipitation, accidental, ascension and condensation. The average degree of risk had been verified in almost all rooms of the residential, following the minimum and the critical. Therefore, this work is based on the importance of seeking greater durability of buildings, preventing moisture pathologiesfrom damaging the heritage and compromising people's health.
