The degradation of building materials is a complex phenomenon, which starts as soon as construction is concluded, evolves over time, and contributes to end the service life of …
This chapter presents the formulation and application of deterministic models for service life prediction of buildings and their components. These models are based on regression …
In this chapter, factorial modes are applied to the service life prediction of façade coatings, using two approaches:(A) a classic or deterministic approach, in which three scenarios are …
