Inspeção predial: estudo de caso da Casa de Cultura Britânica da Universidade Federal do Ceará

Abstract

A building, like many others man-made structures, needs preventive maintenance with a certain frequency, in order to guarantee the full functioning of its components. However, it has been noted in recent years the occurrence of several cases of collapse of buildings in the capital of the state of Ceará, which proves the lack of proper preventive maintenance and the need to monitor the use and deterioration of buildings. In this context, the building inspection arises, a process whose realization seeks to identify possible flaws and anomalies present in buildings, so that they can be remedied and don’t compromise the useful life of the structure, providing greater comfort and safety to users. Thus, this work consists of carrying out a building inspection based on the Municipal Property Inspection Law of Fortaleza/CE N° 9913, on the NBR 16747:2020 standard and on the National Property Inspection Standard of 2012 of the Brazilian Institute of Assessments and Expertise (IBAPE). To this end, the British Culture House (CCB) of the Federal University of Ceará was chosen for the inspection, a place of great value for the University and also for the population of Fortaleza, in view of the original architecture of the mid-twentieth century that remains maintained.
