JOURNAL OF PERFORMANCE OF CONSTRUCTED FACILITIES

The Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities attempts to improve the quality of the constructed product through interdisciplinary communication. Papers examine the causes and consequences of failures and other performance problems.The principal purpose of the Journal is to disseminate information on failures and performance deficiencies of constructed facilities. The term “failures” in this context may mean catastrophic events, but also includes any performance deficiency from which a significant lesson can be learned, such as serviceability problems. Both the technical causes and procedural causes of failures are of interest. Procedural causes include human errors in design, construction, and/or operation that allow the failures to occur.The Journal welcomes manuscripts that deal with failures, methods of investigation of failures, special techniques for failure investigations, reconstruction and repair, and issues of ethics.Also of interest are manuscripts on design and construction practices that could lead to or have led to failures. Papers that discuss the interface between various professionals in the construction industry are of special interest. Manuscripts discussing risk management and failure prevention techniques are also encouraged. In addition, manuscripts on monitoring the performance of existing facilities and maintenance of the infrastructure are within the intended scope of the Journal.

《建筑设备性能杂志》试图通过跨学科交流提高已建产品的质量。论文研究了故障和其他性能问题的原因和后果。该期刊的主要目的是传播有关已建成设施的故障和性能缺陷的信息。在这种情况下，“故障”一词可能意味着灾难性事件，但也包括任何可以从中吸取重要教训的性能缺陷，例如可用性问题。故障的技术原因和程序原因都很重要。程序性原因包括设计、施工和/或操作中的人为错误，从而导致故障的发生。该杂志欢迎处理故障的手稿、故障调查方法、故障调查的特殊技术、重建和修复以及道德问题。同样令人感兴趣的是设计和施工实践的手稿，这些手稿可能会导致或已经导致失败。讨论建筑行业各专业人员之间的接口问题的论文具有特殊的兴趣。还鼓励讨论风险管理和故障预防技术的手稿。此外，关于监测现有设施性能和基础设施维护的手稿在该期刊的预期范围内。
