Guide for Visual Inspection of Structural Concrete Building Components.

摘要

Proper inspection of building components can help reduce the likelihood of structural failures. Although inspectors at Army installations are responsible for monitoring the conditions of structural concrete, they currently have no organized method of inspecting this building component. This report provides Army installation inspectors with guidance for inspecting structural concrete in buildings and focuses on conditions that can lead to structural failure. Information on reported structural failures, generalized condition assessments, and accepted industry practices form the basis of the discussions and the inspection checklist.
