摘要
The sudden collapse of a school roof in the UK brought widespread attention to the structural integrity of buildings constructed with reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC), a material widely used from the 1950s to the mid-1990s. RAAC, known for its lightweight and insulating properties, has been found to suffer from weak compressive strength, poor reinforcement anchorage, and high susceptibility to environmental degradation. The structural profiles of RAAC panels in the UK are unique, particularly in their reinforcement configurations and failure modes, which limits the applicability of the existing literature from other regions. This paper conducts a state-of-the-art review, identifying a significant gap in current research due to the unique challenges posed by RAAC in the UK, and highlights the need for novel methodologies. In response to this gap, the paper introduces a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) framework utilising the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method to assess the interdependencies of RAAC defects. This methodology quantifies the influence of observed defects and guides the selection of appropriate remediation strategies, offering a more structured and objective approach to RAAC panel assessment and retrofitting. Practically, this study aligns with ongoing research efforts towards the digitalisation of RAAC management by integrating the MCDA model within digital asset management systems. This integration supports a holistic approach to addressing the RAAC crisis, enhancing current efforts to digitalise the surveying and management processes and ensuring safer long-term solutions.
