Abstract
The paper reports the work performed by the joint CIB and RILEM committee W80/100-TSL on the Prediction of Service Life. The work is a continuation of earlier joint activity (CIB W80/RILEM 71-PSL), with concentration on generic methodologies for feedback from practice of durability data by, particularly, inspection of buildings. Different concepts to establish data on the in-service performance of building materials and components are presented. An approach to the design of field inspection surveys of buildings, when the purpose is to establish durability data, is reviewed and discussed. How to consider the role of the exposure environment when performing feedback investigations is briefly commented upon.
Résumé
Ce rapport rend compte du travail accompli par la commission mixte RILEM 100-TSL/CIB W80 sur les techniques de prévision de la durée de service, qui fait suite à une activité commune antérieure (CIB W80/RILEM 71-PSL), l'accent étant mis sur les méthodologies qui permettent d'évaluer indépendamment des cas la durabilité à partir des données d'observation fournies cas par cas par l'inspection des ouvrages.
On présente différentes conceptions pour obtenir les données de performance en service des matériaux et composants de construction. On examine et on discute les méthodes possibles d'inspection sur site en vue d'obtenir les données de la durabilité. On commente brièvement la façon d'envisager le rôle du milieu d'exposition dans les études de ‘feedback’ d'observation des ouvrages.
