The need for consolidation works of the existing constructions takes a very large scale with the passage of the years, mobilizing human and material resources comparable to those used for new investments. The consolidation of the structures must be carried out on the basis of clearly and coherently expressed principles, leading to the achievement of safe constructions with a predictable seismic vulnerability to the incidence of an earthquake of maximum probable intensity. The objective of the work is to establish the causes that lead to the degradation of the constructions, the elimination of these causes and the proposal of consolidation measures, of the degraded structural elements, following the qualitative evaluation as well as after the verification of their bearing capacity in accordance with the standards and norms in force. The present study aims to analyze the behavior of some constructions subject to seismic action.
