Portuguese term

manifestação patologica

Portuguese to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering AAR in Concrete
Caso a avaliação realizada indique potencial reativo na presença de álcalis e haja risco de manifestações patológicas na estrutura, o agregado pode ser utilizado desde que sejam tomadas as ações preventivas etc

I can't find anything on the internet on concrete sites that uses a term remotely like this - mostly they talk about cracking/damage/rupture etc. "pathological manifestations" seems to only relate to medicine! So could it just be 'damage/symptoms of damage or cracking?'
Thanks for any help.

damages in the concrete structure /structural damages (due to deterioration, cracking, etc)

That's how I would translate it. I'm pretty sure "manifestação patológica" in your context means "structural damages" due to environmental conditions, for example.

Anyway, I hope it helps....

Note from asker:
Thanks Marlene - the only thing that worries me is that as far as I can see, all the links you sent me are to documents which were originally written in Portuguese (i.e. not necessarily the correct English term; just because it's published doesn't mean it's correct!) - maybe I missed something. I've gone through dozens of websites about concrete in original English, and this term just doesn't appear, which is why I was nervous about using it in this context. Let's see what else comes in. Thanks.
