A Study on the Regulations for Inspection Method of High-Rise Building Exterior Wall Tile in Taiwan and Japan

Abstract:

Tile is one of the most popular materials for high-rise building exterior wall construction in Taiwan. High-rise buildings in Taiwan were first built approximately 35 years ago. Wall tiles of these buildings currently are deteriorated facing the need of repair. In recent years, subject of exterior wall tile inspection at high-rise building have gained considerable attention. Taiwan government enacted the regulations on fire evacuation and equipment inspection for building safety. And attempt to add the article of exterior wall inspection for building safety. In other ways, high-rise buildings were first built approximately 50 years ago in Japan. Inspection and repair work for high-rise buildings plays an important role in the building construction market in Japan. Jurisdiction of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism legislate the regulations “Periodic Report System”. Exterior wall inspection methods were regulated under these regulations. In order to sustain safety quality environment within existent high-rise buildings, it is necessary for Taiwan government to legislate on exterior wall inspection today. The purpose of this study is to compare the regulations for inspection method of high-rise building exterior wall tile in Taiwan and Japan. We hope the conclusion of this study could give a significant suggestion to Taiwan building inspection method in the future.
