Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation Research Program. The Condition of Corps of Engineers Civil Works Concrete Structures
Abstract
Two computerized data bases, (a) structure-description and (b) damage and repair, were compiled. The structure-description data base contains basic information (location, category, age, purpose, etc.) on 766 projects. The damage and repair data base contains information on the current condition of the concrete in the Corps' civil works structures as determined through detailed reviews of over 2000 periodic inspection reports. To assist in the analysis, a number of computer programs were developed to manipulate and search the data bases. This analysis concentrated on the types of deficiencies observed, the cause (if reported), location within the structure, and degree of damage. Also, if the deficiency had been repaired, the material or technique or both that were used and the performance were analyzed. This identification and assessment of problems relating to evaluation, maintenance, and repair of concrete will provide guidance in developing and establishing priorities for research in the Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation (REMR) Research Program. Originator-supplied keywords: Causes of concrete deficiencies; Concrete structures; Condition evaluations; Damage to concrete; Deficiencies in concrete; Hydraulic structures; Maintenance of concrete; Repair of concrete; REMR (Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation) Research Program.
