Determining The Service Life Of Structures, Buildings And Facilities

Abstract

The determination of the service life (residual resource) of buildings and structures during operation and during reconstruction becomes particularly relevant, because the current economic situation requires a significant reduction in production costs, which is facilitated by the use of sound scientifically and in detail developed strategies for the operation of construction projects, including the conduct of scheduled-preventive and capital repairs. The article considers the existing methods of determining the residual service life of structures of buildings and facilities in Russia. The necessity of updating and correcting the above methods in terms of clarifying the significance coefficients for elements of buildings is justified, as well as recommendations for supplementing the State Standard "Buildings and Structures. Rules for Inspection and Monitoring of Technical Condition" are made. The methods considered in the article make it possible to estimate the physical depreciation and the remaining operation time of buildings before capital overhaul based on the technical condition of the building, obtained on the basis of the survey, which is confirmed by the considered example of a residential building in the city of Sosnogorsk (Komi Republic).
