Pathology studies in building and civil works

Both in the field of construction and civil works, problems of damage and injuries in construction are growing,the so-called "diseases." The main causes are derived from designs (at project level), or inadequate performance, poor quality of materials, claims for accidents, aggressive environmental conditions not foreseen, or a poor use by the users. 

Studies of "pathologies" made by our Department may include, in general, the following work: 

• Previous acknowledgments of the buildings conditions or structures to investigate. 
• Detailed survey of damage and injuries in main and secondary elements. 
• Characterization of structural geometry and / or verification of the information available for the project. 
• Sampling campaign, testing on-site and laboratory to value the strength properties of the materials used, and characterization according to the regulation of the time. 
• Load testing, on site or in the laboratory to determine the residual bearing capacity of structural elements. 
• Performing complex patterns of structural analysis (through finite elements) to assess the level of security and functionality of the affected structures. 
• Technical Report of the various tasks performed, including conclusions and recommendations for intervention so conditions can be returned safely, functionality and durability suitable for the use of buildings.
