Distributed these pathological manifestations were analyzed in 30 works, how to use: residential, commercial and public; and according to the surrounding area which is inserted: saline, urban, industrial or rural area. From these data , we obtained the percentage of occurrence of the major pathological manifestations, noting that the structures showed degradation mainly due to the action of reinforcement corrosion and cracks, and such events are directly associated with the establishment of improper procedures in steps design and execution of the construction process.
