Implications of the New Zealand Building Code durability requirements
The durability of materials and components used in buildings has been studied worldwide for a long time. In the building process, there has always been an implicit reliance that the finished building will be durable, able to carry out its function for a long time. The New Zealand Building Code, which came into force on 1 January 1993, has mandatory requirements for building durability which apply across the whole code. This has thrown the question of durability into sharp focus, and the consequences of this are explored in this paper.
