REMR Management Systems - Riverine Dike and Revetment Condition Index Software (DIKE_CI) User's Manual
Abstract
This is the user guide for the initial version of DIKE_CI the REMR (Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation) management system computer program for riverine navigation training structures. It was developed as part of the REMR research program. This DOS based version handles basic structural information, inspection information (including estimated Condition Index CI value), and report generation for stone dikes and revetments. The program is menu driven. Data can be copied to and from other disk drives. The quantitative description, or CI, is incorporated into a REMR Management System for stone navigation training dikes and revetment. The CI is obtained from an algorithm that uses field inspection data as input and is designed so that it provides consistent, repeatable, uniform results. The fundamental goals of the REMR Management System are to establish Corps wide inspection uniformity and common definitions of condition so that more effective communications concerning condition can be made. REMR Management Systems use uniform condition inspection techniques that emphasize visual, inexpensive, and efficient methods of data gathering.
