Inspection Frequency Criteria Models for Timber, Steel, and Concrete Pile Supported Waterfront Structures.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The Navy has no specific criteria for establishing the time interval between successive waterfront inspections or for determining the priority of waterfront facilities to be inspected. This report presents the strategy used to develop a preliminary inspection frequency model and the requirements needed to determine the order of inspections. The criteria used for determining when inspections should be performed were: construction material, facility age, present condition, facility environment, and mission requirements. A database was designed for searching, sorting, and correlating inspection data for determining the best time interval between inspections while maintaining safe and operational structures. Keywords: Structural Safety; Building inspections; Underwater inspection.
