Abstract

Reinforced concrete structures are the most abundant in the world's real estate, and in Mozambique in particular. Its study is not limited only to design and execution, but also to the assessment of in-service performance, either to guarantee its useful life or to adapt to new functions during that period. The report presents a study related to diagnostic tests on existing reinforced concrete structures, where the activities carried out, resulting from practical works cases, are presented. For the various tests presented here, the respective procedures were elaborated, based on the standards and equipment in use at LEM, IP. 4 work cases were considered, where the problems were identified, the prescribed tests were described, results were presented and individual recommendations and conclusions were presented.
