Application Of Operational Reliability Tools In The Evaluation Of Buildings

Abstract

As part of the investigation on the use of operational Reliability tools for the constructive technical evaluation of buildings, and after carrying out the first iteration in the adjustment of the Criticality Analysis, the Pareto Technique and the Impact Method, it was necessary to study the feasibility of application in built heritage. For the use of these tools, the component systems of the buildings to be evaluated were identified and the deterioration was surveyed through organoleptic inspections of each of the constituent elements. These adjusted methods were applied to the structural, non-structural and plumbing systems of three pavilions of the “Dr. Salvador Allende". Once these tools were applied, the characterization of each one by type of systems in the buildings was carried out, from which it turned out that the Criticality Analysis is better adjusted to the structural system, the Method of impacts to the non-structural system and the Technical from Pareto to the plumbing system.
