Estudo do cenário econômico da corrosão de armaduras em obras da construção civil

Abstract

Reinforcement corrosion is one of the most common problems in reinforced concrete structures. Having knowledge of this phenomenon is very relevant, as it causes several damages to the structure and involves high costs in its restorations. This study aims to make a search, based on bibliographies, of the economic scenario involving the consequences for the triggering of this pathological manifestation in civil works. Through the developed research it was possible to identify that chloride ions and carbonation are the main causes of this problem and that through preventive maintenance it is possible to reduce the costs caused by corrosive processes. In addition, it is a phenomenon that impacts the economy worldwide and in the case of Brazil, it is in the coastal region that the highest incidence of cases is concentrated.
