- Abstract:
The implementation of a roof maintenance plan is a key element to control in-service system performance by monitoring the deterioration factors, types of anomalies, and their causes. A continuous and structured follow-up of the performance of the maintenance-source elements (MSEs) of a roof, associated with an appropriate planning, enables taking all necessary actions for proactive maintenance (cleaning, minor and major interventions), guaranteeing the control of costs during buildings’ lifecycles and the users’ satisfaction. This study intends to establish a maintenance plan for pitched roofs in current buildings, considering the deterioration agents, defects, and causes that influence the durability of the MSEs of pitched roofs. Moreover, the expected service life of these components was identified to schedule the main maintenance actions on the constructive elements under analysis, including the prioritization and the periodicity of the interventions required. The maintenance plan proposed was validated based on the knowledge of the in-service performance of 34 pitched roofs (with an area of
