Resumo (no máximo 200 palavras)

During the design life of buildings, events can cause the structure to move, the occurrence of differential settlements of the foundation can lead to pathological manifestations that affect structural stability; thus, the monitoring of settlements makes up an important quality control activity throughout the lifetime of the structure. Therefore, the actual work presents the case study of a 7-floor building that showed pathologies after 20 years of its construction, the pathologies were analyzed, and the reinforcement and the monitoring of settlements were presented. From the study, it was verified that the pathologies occurred due to an external post-construction event, this fact demonstrates the importance of carrying out periodic inspections of the structure and the elements close to it.
