Results of Industrial Research of Civil Engineering Quality and Safety

The text gives a valuable information on quality assessment of civil engineering. Indicators of zero-defects and engineering process accuracy for impartial quality assessment are offered. The need is stressed to employ indicators structural safety. The calculation is performed on the basis of statistical data of operational control, actual geodetic location sketches, laboratory monitoring of material properties. It is investigated samples of multistory buildings of various structural systems made of precast panels, bricks and cast-in-place concrete. Data are given about results assessment for zero-defects parameters, accuracy and structural safety. Observed defects leads to significant increasing of failure probability of load-bearing structures and reduction of safe exploitation period for buildings. (C) 2015 The Authors.
