Abstract: Predictive modeling of deterioration is typically done based on visually inspected condition ratings of building components. This paper presents the concept of a cumulative lost value ratio (CLVR) for component groups to ...

Abstract: The typical approach to modeling building degradation is based on consecutive visual inspections using generic deterioration ratings to characterize the conditions of elements. Our research used snapshot data to capture a ...

Abstract: Age has often been the only factor considered in predictive models of degradation. This study, however, assesses the influence on degradation of coastal exposure for concrete beams, level of utilization for rendered cement ...
