- Abstract:
Factorial methods are cost-effective, quick and easy-to-implement methodologies for service life estimation of buildings and their parts. They also stand as the underlying principle of the International Standard Organisation ISO-15686 for service life planning. However, few guidelines exist on how to relate real-life deterioration phenomena to quantified durability values for use within factorial methods. This paper describes a methodology to quantify the 'reference service life' and its modifying durability factors for cement-rendered facades based on fieldwork data of 150 cases located in Portugal. The methodology proposed relies on regression analysis of the overall degradation level of the cases assessed. The results obtained are used as a reference set of data for the statistical benchmarking of five different scenarios for the quantification of modifying durability factors of cement-rendered facades. Although the values obtained relate to a specific building element and material, on the one hand, and reflect the Portuguese construction context, on the other hand, the proposed methodology may be applied to other materials and elements in different building and environmental contexts, thus providing a guideline for the quantification of durability factors for use within the factor method.
