Research programme on renovation 1986-1988. Final report
The aim of the research programme on renovation was to master the techniques employed for renovating Finland's postwar buildings and infrastructure in carefully selected aspects. The research was carried out during 1986-1988 and was divided into four subprojects. Separate summarising reports have been written on these under the following headings: Fundamental repair construction data, Inspection and repair techniques, The city and its housing estates as an object of repair, and Guidance for street and road maintenance. With the aid of the subprojects data files have been created containing basic information on the buildings that will need repairing in the near future. Furthermore Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT) has collected information on building materials available for use for renovation purposes in the future. The research technique (building diagnostics) placed the main emphasis on the following topics: condition of facades and facade joints; condition of roof strucfures with regard to damp; location of corrosion areas in concrete reinforcements by electrical potential measurement and condition of plumbing using various kinds of observation equipment TV scanning; and ultrasonic scanning. Existing methods were used for estimating the condition of wooden structures, and additional new methods were developed. A variety of methods of condition estimation were employed to study timber piles in old foundation structures. Growth conditions of mould and rot in wooden structures were described in a separate report.
