Abstract
Recommendations and guidelines are presented for condition assessment and maintenance of the exterior surfaces of factory coated metal siding and roofing. The metal siding and roofing products commonly encountered on Air Force installations are addressed. The types of deterioration of metal buidings and appropriate methods of repair and maintenance procedures are related to the materials and construction practices used. The results of field observations of the condition of many types of coatings on metal siding and roofing in varying states of deterioration are reported. A quantitative condition assessment procedure was developed for exterior surfaces of metal buildigns and consists of two parts. First, the condition of the siding and roofing of the building is evaluated using inspection forms, visual standards, and descriptions of levels of deterioration. In the second part, recommended maintenance procudures are determined using the evaluation data and analytical procedures which were developed. Visual standards and detailed coating failure descriptions were devleoped in order to identify and categorize the condition of the metal siding and roofing of the buildings. Preliminary repair and coating maintenance system recommendations were made for frequently encountered problem conditions observed during inspections of buildings with metal siding and roofing on Air Force bases. The preliminary recommendations include those for surface preparation and selection of maintenance coatings. The recommendations for surface preparation and selection of maintenance coatings. the recommendations were based on the types of existing coatings and metal materials, their condition, and whether the selected maintenance coatings are compatible with the existing coatings and selected surface preparation procedures.
