Estudo das patologias na base de concreto de silos metálicos de fundo plano causadas por falhas no processo de impermeabilização e manutenção

Abstract

Grain storage silos, as well as any other civil construction, are susceptible to pathologies and can thus compromise their life cycle and reduce their performance. The study of pathologies may contribute to avoid future problems, mainly structural. The aim of this work is to identify pathological manifestations in flat - bottomed silos and to analyze them if they are a consequence of poor waterproofing of their concrete base. The study presents the pathologies found in metallic silos, the relation of the pathologies with the life time of the structure and the possible causes of the same.
