Reinforced Concrete Pipe Cracks - Acceptance Criteria, Summary

摘要

Reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) is widely used by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in installations expected to serve for periods of decades before replacement, and extremely slow deterioration of RCP can be accepted. However, cracks in RCP are often found by inspectors shortly after placement, and a decision must be made whether the cracks are inconsequential and the installation can be approved, or if repairs or replacement are required.
