MANIFESTAÇÕES PATOLÓGICAS EM EDIFICAÇÕES LITORÂNEAS

The aggressive environment of coastal areas, characterized by salt spray, high humidity and climate variations, presents significant challenges for the construction and maintenance of buildings. Pathological Manifestations in Coastal Buildings investigates the main pathological manifestations that impact these structures, such as corrosion, cracks, fissures, deterioration of coatings and surface wear.

To mitigate these impacts, the use of qualified labor and the careful selection of appropriate materials are essential. Practical measures are proposed, such as the choice of materials resistant to corrosion and humidity, in addition to the implementation of construction techniques such as efficient waterproofing, strategic ventilation and adequate drainage systems.

It also highlights the consequences of pathological manifestations for the safety and quality of life of residents, as well as the devaluation of property and repair costs. The importance of regular inspections, preventive maintenance and immediate repairs is highlighted to avoid further damage and extend the useful life of buildings in coastal areas.
