1 What Determines Durability?
Durability is not a material property
Durability is a function of a material and its environment
Durability is also a function of installation, future maintenance and replacements

Durability
That depends on whether we are manufacturing open web joists or underwear.” Ted Kesik
Buildings: Institutional, Industrial, Commercial, Residential…
Materials:
“What’s better – steel or cotton?

Durable requires the Team to perform their roles and responsibilities from Conception to Occupancy.
Roles & Responsibilities
The Roles need to be clearly defined for each of the following:
Owner(s) Architect Durability Specialist Building Envelop Consultant Structural Consultant Other Consultants General Contractor Sub-Contractors Manufacturers

Service Life
Service Life: “The actual time during which the
building or any of its components performs without unforeseen costs or disruption for maintenance and repair.” (CSA S478)
Design Service Life (DSL) vs. Predicted Service Life (PSL)
Components will last for 10, 20, 30, 50, 100+ years?

How To Predict Service Life?
How do we predict the service life of a material or assembly?
PSL of components within assembly (shortest outside, longest inside)
Use many methods in parallel
Some components will be less
Some components will be more

How To Predict Service Life?
ISO 15686-1 Factor Method: ESL = RSL x A x B x C x D x E x F x G
A. Quality of components as supplied to the project
B. Design level of a component (e.g. how protected it is from elements which may degrade it)
C. Work execution level or skill level of the installers
D. Indoor environment (e.g. where the component will be utilized)
E. Outdoor environment (e.g. northern climate, coastal climate, southern climate)
F. In-use conditions (refers to specific use conditions of the building)
G. Maintenance level (what is the level of maintenance possible, and likely, for the particular component for the span of its useful life?)

A Durability Plan
Category DSL Examples
Temporary Up to 10 years * Non-permanent construction buildings (sales offices, bunkhouses) * Temporary exhibition buildings
Medium Life 25 to 49 years * Most industrial buildings * Most parking structures
Long Life
50 to 99 years
* Most residential, commercial and office buildings * Health and education buildings * Parking structures below buildings designed for long life category
Permanent 100 years minimum
* Monumental buildings * Heritage buildings
Design and construct with the intent that: Predicted Service Life ≥ Design Service Life

Service Life
Category Effects of failure Example
1 No exceptional problems Replacement of light fittings
2 Security compromised Broken door latch
3 Interruption of building use Repair requires discontinuation of service
4 Costly because repeated Window hardware replacement
5 Costly repair Extensive replacement/ scaffolding needed
6 Danger to health or ecological system Mold, dampness, asbestos
7 Risk of injury Loose handrail
8 Danger to life Collapse of structure
Components in Categories 6, 7 and 8 – Design to last the life of the building
Components in Categories 4 and 5 – Design to last at least half the life of the building

To assess installation quality control,
Address “one-off” details
Quality assurance activities are documented.
A final review is required to confirm compliance with the Project Documents.
Frequency is dependent on team make-up and requirements

Predicting Service Life
In the design phase, DSL goes from generic to specific: Generic Assembly Specific Assembly
Example:
Composite Panel ABC Alum-Composite Panel (DSL 60+) (DSL 45 years) 50 mm Z-girt (90 Gauge) (DSL 30) 50 mm rigid insulation type IV (DSL 60+) ABC a/v/m barrier (DSL 40) ABC sheathing w/ xxx screws (DSL 50) etc…
