METHODOLOGY PROPOSAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTIVE EVALUATION OF BUILDINGS

Abstract

The current state of a large number of buildings, where injuries are found in all the systems that comprise it and the few estimation tools in the construction area, led to the establishment of a procedure for the assessment of the buildings.  It was proposed that, based on inspections made to the buildings to obtain the necessary information, operational reliability tools be applied.  For this, three methods were presented that will result in the level of criticality of the identified lesions.  The study to determine the causes-consequences of the failures was proposed by the Ishikawa Diagram and for the summary table of the results the use of the Failure Modes Analysis and Effect of Criticality (FMECA) was suggested, granting an order based on of the values and levels of criticality obtained or of the qualitative assessment of the parameters analyzed.  As last points it was declared to make a proposal for intervention and solutions for the repair of the building.  These procedures offer sufficient and well-founded information for decision-making, after exhaustive evaluation or not of the systems or component parts of the building.
