Tipologia da Fissuração em Edificação da Arquitetura Luso-Maranhense: Estudo de Caso

A study on the Historic Centre of São Luís, Maranhão, identified key causes of cracking in mixed masonry and concrete structures. The primary finding was that cracks in alvenarias were primarily due to wood decay within the structure and degradation of mortar, while in concrete, a porous plaster layer exacerbated carbonation—a process that weakens concrete by reacting with moisture. The research employed diagnostic testing, including carbonation assays, to pinpoint these issues. Treatment recommendations included preventive maintenance for wooden elements and structural reinforcement for concrete, addressing both immediate damage and long-term preservation challenges.
