Application of Industrial Maintenance Methods on Building Maintenance
Modern Methods and Advances in Structural Engineering and Construction(ISEC-6), 2011Currently, the existing building stock is refurbished or replaced at a very low annual rate. Nevertheless due to its immense total value this slow replacement requires a considerable part of the GDP. It is important to ensure that this capital is invested in the best way with most profit for the society and future generations as well as for the ...
