Abstract

The ceramic floor system is composed of some important layers such as the base or substrate, fixation layer and finishing layer, the failure of any of these components will result in some type of pathological manifestation. These failures have their origins due to several factors, such as the lack of a well elaborated project about the characteristics of each material and components involved to be installed, or the low quality of the workmanship, low quality materials, lack of knowledge or respect in relation to good construction practices and ABNT standards. This work aims to identify and analyze the cause, type and origin of each pathology found at the Cônego Ubirajara Cabral hospital in the city of Alpinópolis-MG and to recommend the possible solutions for each anomaly. Through the analyzes and the researched theoretical framework, it is concluded that there is not only a single responsible cause for the detachment of ceramic tiles, efflorescence, aesthetic anomalies and deterioration of the joints, being for several causes that resulted in the referred pathologies found. It is worth mentioning that this work has as reference the good practices of civil construction and ABNT standards.
