DEVELOPMENT OF A DATABASE CONCEPT FOR DIGITALISING THE EXPERIENCE OF BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES OPERATING

Abstract

Problem statement. These days, the main method of monitoring the buildings and structures state is through periodic technical state assessment and monitoring. This is an important practice that guarantees the reliability and safety of the operation of buildings and structures, helping to identify and establish the obvious and possible causes of defects and damages. However, the current practice of storing the results of surveys and monitoring is often limited to records in paper reports, which makes it difficult to analyse over time. Thus, there is a need to create a digital information system designed to record and store the results of monitoring of buildings and structures. This will make the data accessible and organised for specialists, simplifying analysis and ensuring their effective use for decision-making. Such a system will significantly improve the safety and efficiency of buildings and structures management. The purpose of the article is  the development of a database architecture for the digitalisation of information related to the inspection and monitoring of the technical state of buildings and structures. Conclusions. The developed database structure will allow storing information about buildings, their owners, location, structures, defects and damage identified during visual and instrumental inspections, as well as organisational and technical measures aimed at bringing structures back to normal technical state or reducing the impact of negative factors. This will contribute to more efficient management and help maintain the property in good working order, reducing the probability of emergency situations.
