Inspection and Rating of Miter Lock Gates. Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation Research Program

Abstract

The objectives of this work are: (1) to develop an inspection and rating system that uniformly and consistently describes the current condition of miter lock gate structures; and (2) to develop guidelines for the maintenance and repair of these structures. Only the first objective is addressed in this report. This report gives a general description of the current inspection and rating system. This includes the definition of a condition index and a description of miter lock gate distresses. A detailed description of the inspection process follows. Once the inspection data have been gathered, they are filed on a computer disk through a microcomputer program. The program then computes the structural and functional condition indexes for miter lock gates.
