| Summary | Annotation This book shows how routine inspection and monitoring can extend the service life of the anchored structures that represent key elements of a country¿s infrastructure. Where inspection highlights unacceptable tendon corrosion or over-stressing, the results provide early warning of the need for precautionary or remedial measures, in order to safeguard the integrity of the anchored structure. The findings in this book show that in spite of these benefits, sufficient attention is not currently paid to routine maintenance inspection and service behaviour monitoring. Contents Include: ¿ Maintenance testing and service behaviour monitoring of permanent ground anchorages ¿ Inspection procedures and physical conditions recorded in service ¿ Service behaviour monitoring procedures and performance in service ¿ North American Dam rehabilitation ¿ Rock bolts in tunnels and mines ¿ Non-destructive integrity testing ¿ Corrosion monitoring and corrosion protection systems ¿ Case histories of satisfactory performance, shortcomings and failures in service ¿ Recommendations and standards for inspection, monitoring and repair |
