Levantamento dos erros técnicos cometidos por engenheiros civis e identificados nas jurisprudências dos Tribunais de Justiça dos estados da Bahia, Sergipe, Alagoas e Pernambuco

Abstract

The pathological manifestations are caused by factors that involve mainly the lack of knowledge in the area, failures in the workmanship, imprudence of the professionals, errors in the conception of projects and materials that have poor quality. The main objective of this research was to determine the number and types of pathological manifestations, as a result of technical errors made by professionals in the field of civil construction. The methodology used was documentary research, through the analysis of the jurisprudences handed down by the Courts of Justice of Bahia, Alagoas, Sergipe and Pernambuco, in continuity with research already done in other states. A total of 795 cases were identified, 377 jurisprudences were compatible with the scope of this research. Of the results obtained, the system that showed the greatest compromise, as a result of pathological manifestations, was the structural system. The technical error most often committed by professionals was recklessness, which is considered intentional, because the engineer is aware of the source of the error but disregards the negative consequences when performing the activity.
