Corrosion Costs of Air Force and Army Facilities and Construction of a Cost Prediction Model.

Abstract

The facility maintenance organizations of several Air Force and Army installations were analyzed to determine the percentage of their direct maintenance, repair or replacement efforts that were corrosion-related. Also included were the costs of designing and inspecting corrosion-related construction projects. This raw data was processed and correlated with climatological, geographic and environmental statistics to develop a predictive corrosion cost model. The resulting empirical equations are able to predict facility corrosion costs and classification with reasonable accuracy as a function of installation dimensions and capacities, and readily obtainable weather, soil and air quality data.
