Abstract:- Maintenance frequency is a matter of debate, as it is very difficult to judge ore verdict upon as maintenance frequency may vary from building to building, place to place, use to use and many other such criteria’s which make it difficult and uncertain. Even though maintenance frequency is most subjective matter it is important for maintenance planning and budgetary provision. Through this project attempt is being made to put these maintenance tasks in a range of time instead of one particular time frame. Range as high and low will help predict approximately when the maintenance task can be due and planning and monitory arrangement for the same can be made at appropriate level. Under this research work; civil engineering components such as architectural building components and plumbing components and their alternatives used in India are considered.
I. INTRODUCTION
Maintainability is “The ability to achieve the optimum performance throughout the life span of a facility within the minimum life cycle cost (LCC)”. As defined in order to achieve optimum performance maintenance tasks to be performed are important. And to do so time of occurrence of the task should be known, which can be obtained from the maintenance cycles of various components.
As concluded by Dr.-Ing Carolin Bahr in his research paper “Validation of Maintenance Cycles for public Buildings” values given in literature regarding the different maintenance packages should be verified and adopted using real data, as the maintenance frequency is subjected to vary from building to building, to the Indian conditions values for new tasks are provided by CPWD and PWD in their maintenance manual, these covers very small area that too subjected to vary from building to building, environment to environment, use of building and so on.
The work undertaken here is to compile maintenance frequency of various components used in building construction. Frequency being most subjective area and perfect or to the point time cannot be predicted, so the professional experience of the people engaged in building maintenance will be used to determine the frequency of the maintenance tasks.
