REMR Management Systems. User's Manual for Obtaining a Condition Index of aConcrete Navigation Lock

摘要

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operates approximately 270 navigation lockchambers constructed of plain or reinforced concrete. Many of these structures require, or will require significant repairs to ensure safe and efficient operations. Modem engineering technology is providing procedures for performing condition surveys, consistent and quantitative conditions assessment, and data base management. Combined with economic analyses, these procedures afford efficient maintenance and repair (M and R) budget planning through the evaluation of current condition and the comparison of various M and R alternatives based on life cycle costs. Collectively these procedures are called the Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance and Rehabilitation (REMR) Management System. The LOCKWALL program documented in this manual addresses the REMR aspects of concrete navigation lock monoliths.
