Abstract

At the moment, one of the most demanding tasks for participants of investment-building activity is to find a way to objectively evaluate durability of certain materials, designs and construction in general, with account of complexity of construction products. The existing regulations permit direct or indirect assessment of whether construction objects meet the basic requirements during the design and construction stages, but they do not permit integrating the knowledge gained from long-term observations of construction objects and their structural elements throughout the construction object's life cycle. The introduction of expert-based assessment methods will allow expanding the list of criteria that significantly affect the durability of construction industry products. The article shows the practical application of the expert methods and experimental outcomes in determining the influence of the used materials on the durability of the critical structure.
