Fuzzy signature based methods for modelling the structural condition of residential buildings

Abstract

Conservation, extension or renovation of residential buildings is a task that requires intensive attention, where it must be ensured that design and construction works are carried out in proper quality. Priority is given to the proper use of the available financial resources. Incorrect assessment of renovation or reconstruction needs might cause considerable financial loss without implementing necessary interventions (which could eliminate eventual deteriorations, or hinder their reoccurrence).
