Inspeção predial: Estudo de caso do bloco de ciências sociais da Universidade Federal do Ceará

Abstract

Building inspection is essential to ensure the safety and well-being of the building's users. Therefore, to ensure the proper use of this tool, many regions have already established laws that define guidelines for inspection and specify which types of buildings must undergo it. During the inspection, some aspects established in the Performance Standard, NBR 15575, are evaluated, such as the conservation, stability and safety conditions of the building. This paper aims to present a case study of the building inspection of Block 1 of the Department of Social Sciences of the Federal University of Ceará, located on Benfica Campus. The work consisted in identifying irregularities and evaluating them following a methodology based on the IBAPE standards and NBR 16747. The anomalies were classified by the GUT method and, based on their respective scores, the order of priorities for corrective measures was defined. Thus, pathological manifestations of various types were identified, ranging from a dirt stain on masonry to exposed and oxidized reinforcement. This study presents solutions for these problems and, also, the importance of the building inspection as a tool to prevent accidents and to guarantee the users' comfort.
