- Abstract
In this paper is presented a case study in which it is reported one accident where part of a "stucco" type ceiling collapsed due to termite damage causing, fortunately, only property damage. In the decades of 1950 and 1960 many buildings in Brazil, especially in the inner parts of the country, were built with this type of ceiling, which had a lower cost than conventional reinforced concrete slabs and was much easier and faster to execute. The main characteristics of this system are described and analyzed, especially with regards to the mechanisms of collapse by termite attack.
