Condition Survey, Repair and Rehabilitation, Lock and Dam Number 24, Mississippi River.

Abstract

All available reports, records, and drawings pertinent to this study were collected and reviewed. The items available for review included construction drawings and photographs, postconstruction concrete reports, Periodic Inspection Reports including instrumentation data and analysis, concrete core test and examination reports, a report of field ultrasonic velocity measurements, and boring logs. Specific references to these reports and drawings are made in appropriate parts of this report. Personnel from the WES, SLD, and Lock and Dam No. 24 inspected the dam to observe the extent of damaged concrete on exposed surfaces, locate and structural cracks, obtain information from maintenance, repair, and operational records, and to talk with lock personnel. The piers and the service bridge support columns of the dam were examined to ascertain the physical condition of the exposed concrete surface. As a result of the examination, the exposed concrete was classified into five categories based upon crack width and frequency and the amount of exudation present.
