The term "foundation" refers to the establishment of a base for construction, playing a crucial role in transmitting loads and stresses to the soil, as highlighted by Milititsky (2015) and Azeredo (1997). In the context of Civil Engineering and Geotechnics, the diversity of soils requires detailed studies to ensure the safety and stability of the structure in the face of variable and static loads, also considering economic and environmental factors. Structural pathological problems may arise, requiring appropriate investigation and treatment to preserve the stability of the building without compromising the safety of people and property. This work aims to present possible pathologies in foundations, together with structural control and reinforcement methodologies.
