Estudo das patologias em estruturas metálicas

Abstract

The article in question focuses on the analysis of pathologies in metallic structures as a whole, bringing a bibliographical review that will allow to identify the causes of such pathologies and their consequences to sustainable constructions, as well as to propose corrective and, mainly, preventive methodologies. Having as a reference that it is a less conventional method in Brazil than the use of reinforced concrete and consequently with less attention to its pathologies, this work aims to promote the dissemination of information that results in the minimization of basic constructive prob lems in steel structures through efficient planning and details that pay attention to the area addressed. The research covers aspects from inspections during manufacturing to the assembly of metallic structures, bringing an approach on the realization of very detailed projects aiming at savings in the areas of maintenance and correction. It is concluded that there is a need for care and the establishment of an efficient methodology for the execution of such works.
