| Abstract: | This report has reviewed published research on structural deterioration mechanisms caused by operation and aggressive environmental forces and on time-dependent reliability methods that can be used to perform condition assessments of existing structural components and systems. Reliability-based methodologies and data currently are at a state where it should be possible to develop and institute risk-based in-service inspection and maintenance policies for navigation facilities owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The methodology leading to these policies should be relatively simple and should be consistent with construction and in-service inspection/maintenance databases currently maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It is believed that the methodology can be completed with a reasonable research effort during the next four years. |
