Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation Research Program. Shallow-Draft Training Structure Current Repair Practices and Repair Guidelines.

摘要

The repair of deep- and shallow-draft training structures has continued to be a significant maintenance cost for the US Army Corps of Engineers. This maintenance includes the repair of dikes and revetments damaged as a result of floods, ice, floating debris, impacts from navigation, or undermining due to water flow and/or soils condition. Generally, no guidance is available to evaluate these damaged structures to ascertain when repair work is needed, or to determine when rehabilitation or repair is more cost-effective than replacement of the structure. The objectives of this work unit of the Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation (REMR) research program are: (a) to inventory river training structures, (b) to document past dike repair work, (c) to facilitate technology transfer among Corps Districts through reports and workshops, (d) to document current repair methods, and (e) to formulate guidelines for structure inspection, record keeping, evaluation, and repair.
