Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation Research Program. REMR Management System
Abstract
This report describes the REMR Management System, a computer-aided system for managing REMR activities for Civil Works structures. The system consists of three modules: the Basic Functions module, Condition Evaluation and Rating module, and the Consequence Modeling module. The Basic Functions module contains the procedures for data management and life-cycle cost analysis. The Condition Evaluation and Rating module contains a collection of condition evaluation procedures for various types of structures. The Consequence Modeling module includes tools useful for long-term planning. The Basic Functions module is described in detail in this report. The description of the Condition Evaluation and Rating module and the Consequence Modeling module is limited to the presentation of the concepts; the details of these modules will be reported separately. The REMR Management System is designed as a planning tool and an information system for project-level management. It provides procedures for condition inspection and evaluation, data management, and economic analysis. These procedures can be used to prioritize REMR activities based on condition, select maintenance and repair (M&R) alternatives based on performance, and compare the cost of various M&R alternatives based on life-cycle costs. The REMR Management System promotes faster, more objective, condition-oriented performance of REMR work.
