A PC based system for maintenance management of buildings : Description of the damage atlases

• The EU-project ENV4-CT98-0796 MMWood has the following objective: To develop and validate for the SMEs an integrated Maintenance and management system for historic (wooden) buildings, adapted to the needs and purposes of various user group levels. The system will specifically contain - A documentation system for outer and inner parts of historic (wooden) building parts and components. - Soft- and hardware tools for the building inspection in the course of maintenance tasks, - an environmental risk factor assessment module, - a standardized maintenance assessment module based on complementation of the Wood-Assess process of assessing the symptoms, causes, effects, consequences, risks and remedial actions for environmental damages to the historic buildings and - a cost and maintenance planning module. In the project Damage Atlases for the following materials are given: Wood (including Surface Treatment), Adjoining Materials in Wood Constructions, Rendering, Brick and Natural Stone. These Damage Atlases use the same general layout, following closely the guidelines and protocol developed in a previous EU-project with the acronym "Wood-Assess". The general layout given for these damages is built up with the following questions: - Type of material; - Description of the symptom; - Investigation methods; - Condition degrees referred to pictures; - Extent of the symptom; - Possible causes/degradation agents; - Total condition degree; - Consequences and risks; - Recommended actions. In this paper the general layout of these Damage Atlases is extensively described and included are also some examples of the treated damages. These Damage Atlases are also put into the PC-based maintenance and management system developed in the same project (a first version was developed in the Wood-Assess project ENV4-CT95-0110, which was reported in some detail in the previous CIB congress in Gavle).
