Approaches for Development of a Universal Method for Calculating the Residual Life of Buildings and Structures

摘要

The article provides a brief summary of the approaches for calculating the reliability index and the residual life , currently existing in the world, discussed in more detail the direction taken and distributed in Russia. The analysis is provided on how to choose the most correct and complete approach for the development of a universal comprehensive method for calculating the residual life. The authors proposed a particular method of determining the technical condition and remaining life for the construction objects of the mining and coal industry based on the statistical analysis of a large sample of defects of this building type. To work on a general universal procedure, it is reasonable to use a particular method specified in the paper and some positions of the calculation of residual life with the help of the probability theory.
