Sampling Criteria and Procedures for Underwater Inspection of Waterfront Facilities.

Abstract

Sampling criteria have been developed for planning and executing an underwater inspection of waterfront structures. The proposed sampling criteria use the scientific approach to sampling, where an estimate of the condition and the extent of required maintenance is obtained, which guarantees that the inspection will gather information that can be analyzed in a manner consistent with standard statistical practices. Data obtained using these criteria can be compared to each other with proven correlation procedures to indicate trends in deterioration rates and allow more accurate projections of maintenance and repair requirements. Keywords: Statistical analysis; Validation.
