Pathologies of industrialized buildings made by bearing precast concrete panels. The case study of intervention with the same building system at Chiaromonte (27 dwellings), Francavilla in Sinni (27 dwellings) and Lagonegro (36 dwellings)

The research concerns some residential buildings, realized by Potenza's IACP - Autonomous Institute for Popular Houses, by means of a call for bids made in 1984. Work begun the same year but, following the bankrupcy of the firm, occurred in 1986, it was necessary to re-assign it, and by doing so the work has been going on until 1991 for dwellings at Chiaromonte, 1995 for those at Francavilla and 1996 for those at Lagonegro. Since the oneness of the system building in the three different locations, the interest of the research lies in the comparison between environmental features on one side, and on the other the state of preservation and pathologies who are there in the three interventions, with the aim of specifying how much these are connected with local environmental conditions, and how much on the contrary they follow on from defects of building systems of their's one, or from their use. Since to date in many parts buidings are before made subjected to further retrofitting operations, with not completely satisfacting results, it is possible also to express some good practice criteria and workmanlike assessment in order to maintenance and thermal upgrade of this kind of buildings.
