| Abstract |
Right after the buildings are built, deterioration of building materials begins over time. Therefore all the buildings need continual repairs under both short-time and long-term maintenance plans. A long-term repair plan for the organized maintenance should be developed and implemented to keep the lifespan of the building. When forming such a plan, one should carefully predict when each part of the building will need repairs and how often subsequent repairs of each part will occur. Many apartment buildings in Korea have poor long-term maintenance plans. This is because many of these plans are developed as mere legal formalities rather than as serious attempts to maintain the longevity of buildings. In this study, the materials used in each part of an apartment building are chosen to be considered in predicting when and how frequently the repairs will be required. Furthermore, This paper finally suggests a long-term maintenance plan for elongation so that apartment building managers can use to periodically check, diagnose, and replace old or malfunctioning parts using a maintenance calender. |
