Recuperação estrutural em concreto armado: um estudo de caso

Abstract

Maintenance and structural recovery play a crucial role in preserving the integrity and durability of constructions over time. This article focuses on the importance of structural recovery in maintaining the longevity and efficiency of buildings as they face structural issues related to aging and the development of pathologies. The case study conducted in a residential complex in Paulista/PE, aimed to describe the structural recovery of a residential complex in the mentioned municipality. It involved the identification and mapping of structural problems in reinforced concrete structures, followed by careful recovery procedures. The approach included determining the cause of failures, selecting high-quality materials, and applying appropriate methods, resulting in effective restoration in terms of both performance and appearance. Thus, with the implementation of procedures such as surface chipping, for example, there was a geometric recomposition of the affected structures, as well as the restoration of the original aesthetics of the buildings. Therefore, it is concluded that structural recovery plays a fundamental role in preserving the lifespan of buildings, ensuring the safety of occupants, and that the continuous evolution of techniques and materials contributes to improving this process of addressing issues in compromised structures.
