由ASCE结构工程研究所规范和标准活动部建筑结构状况评估和修复委员会围护结构状况评估小组委员会编制。ASCE/SEI 30-14《建筑围护结构状态评估指南》为评估现有建筑围护结构系统和组件的状态和性能，以及识别有问题和功能失调的元件提供了指南和方法。现有建筑的适应性再利用、修复和改进包括对建筑围护结构的准确评估。 建筑围护结构的失效不仅会导致结构损坏，还会导致安全或健康问题。正确评估建筑围护结构通常是建筑物稳定和修复的第一步。经过修订和重组，ASCE/SEI 30-14标准包括一个关于织物结构的新章节，以及对图和参考标准的更新。通过将基本信息、程序和参考资料汇编成一卷，本标准有助于调查人员制定评估建筑围护结构的逻辑方法，并将重点放在缺陷和痛苦的根本原因上，而不是外部症状上。 本标准更新并取代了先前的ASCE/SEI 30-00标准。配套标准《既有建筑物结构状况评估指南》标准11涉及既有建筑物的结构评估。标准ASCE/SEI 30-14为结构工程师、设计专业人员、规范官员和建筑业主提供评估现有建筑围护结构系统的服务。

Prepared by the Subcommittee on Condition Assessment of the Building Envelope of the Committee on Structural Condition Assessment and Rehabilitation of Buildings of the Codes and Standards Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE.Guideline for Condition Assessment of the Building Envelope, ASCE/SEI 30-14, provides a guideline and methodology for assessing the condition and performance of existing building envelope systems and components, as well as identifying problematic and dysfunctional elements. The adaptive reuse, rehabilitation, and improvement of existing buildings include an accurate assessment of the building envelope. Failures of the building envelope can result not only in structural damage but also in safety or health problems. Proper evaluation of the building envelope is often the first step toward stabilization and rehabilitation of a building.Revised and reorganized, Standard ASCE/SEI 30-14 includes a new section on fabric structures and updates to figures and referenced standards. By compiling basic information, procedures, and references into a single volume, this Standard assists an investigator to develop a logical approach to assessing the building envelope and to focus on the underlying causes of deficiencies and distress rather than outward symptoms.This Standard updates and replaces the previous Standard ASCE/SEI 30-00. A companion standard, Guideline for Structural Condition Assessment of Existing Buildings, Standard 11, addresses the structural assessment of existing buildings.Standard ASCE/SEI 30-14 serves structural engineers, design professionals, code officials, and building owners in evaluating the envelope systems of existing buildings.
