Corrosão em estruturas metálicas de escada externa: uma abordagem utilizando galvanização a frio

Abstract

A Staircase is a term used for a series of steps that allow movement between two or more successive levels, which are connected by landings. In some buildings, stairs are required to form part of an emergency exit route and in these cases, certain standards must be followed during construction. External stairs, located attached to the building, are usually found in older buildings and usually have an aged appearance and are corroded, which gives users the impression of neglect and insecurity. The objective of this work is to present an approach, through cold galvanized finishing, using a zincrich compound available on the market, allowing greater protection and better appearance for external emergency stairs located on the Ecoville Campus of the Federal Technological University of Paraná.
