《建筑設(shè)備性能雜志》試圖通過(guò)跨學(xué)科交流提高已建產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量。論文研究了故障和其他性能問(wèn)題的原因和后果。該期刊的主要目的是傳播有關(guān)已建成設(shè)施的故障和性能缺陷的信息。在這種情況下，“故障”一詞可能意味著災(zāi)難性事件，但也包括任何可以從中吸取重要教訓(xùn)的性能缺陷，例如可用性問(wèn)題。故障的技術(shù)原因和程序原因都很重要。程序性原因包括設(shè)計(jì)、施工和/或操作中的人為錯(cuò)誤，從而導(dǎo)致故障的發(fā)生。該雜志歡迎處理故障的手稿、故障調(diào)查方法、故障調(diào)查的特殊技術(shù)、重建和修復(fù)以及道德問(wèn)題。同樣令人感興趣的是設(shè)計(jì)和施工實(shí)踐的手稿，這些手稿可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致或已經(jīng)導(dǎo)致失敗。討論建筑行業(yè)各專業(yè)人員之間的接口問(wèn)題的論文具有特殊的興趣。還鼓勵(lì)討論風(fēng)險(xiǎn)管理和故障預(yù)防技術(shù)的手稿。此外，關(guān)于監(jiān)測(cè)現(xiàn)有設(shè)施性能和基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施維護(hù)的手稿在該期刊的預(yù)期范圍內(nèi)。

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.
