Impermeabilização de varandas e terraço do CIDT e da Lage de pavimento da guarita da EDM - CCD

Abstract

This Report is part of the Professional Internship of the Degree in Civil Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of the Eduardo Mondlane University, in the area of Construction Management, under the theme “Infiltration of Rainwater in Buildings, its causes and consequences” . This work had as objects of study the maintenance of the building of the Center for Innovation and Technological Development (CIDT) and the requalification of Electricidade de Moçambique – Control and Distribution Center (EDM-CCD). In developing the report, it is intended to translate the experience that the intern acquired during the monitoring of activities in these two previously mentioned works and to speak superficially about the maintenance plan of the buildings, since the lack of this plan caused the level of deterioration of the CIDT building that only after 10 years of its construction the building underwent its first partial rehabilitation, and there is no idea when the next intervention will take place. Throughout the bibliographical review, knowledge will be disseminated about the maintenance plan, the causes of infiltration, the consequences or pathologies caused by infiltration and humidity in buildings. Finally, to answer what is the research question, how to avoid moisture infiltration inside CIDT buildings? One of the main causes of deterioration in buildings, both for old and new constructions, is the presence of moisture, which can occur at different stages of the construction process or during the useful life of the building. The manifestation of humidity can be due to condensation, rising damp from the ground by capillarity, coming from infiltration of rainwater and/or even resulting from leakage in hydraulic networks.
