34、mory of Chris CrilleyApril 30,1959-September 30,2000Chapter 1INTRODUCTION1.1 INTENT OF THE MANUALThe intent of this manual is to provide guidelines and methods for con-ducting underwater engineering assessments of underwater componentsof existing waterfront facilities constructed of materials such a
35、s concrete,masonry, metals, composites, and wood and located in near-shore, water-front, and inland locations exposed to freshwater or saltwater. It includes,but is not limited to, bridges, dams, discharge and intake structures, locks,port and harbor structures, waterfront and waterway structures, p
36、ipelinesand tunnels, and other structures that are located in, store, or transportwater. For convenience, in this manual, the term waterfront structures isused to refer to any of the types of structures listed here, where it is appro-priate and not specifically limited. Offshore structures and nucle
37、ar facili-ties are beyond the scope of this manual.A structural inspection and condition assessment of a waterfront facil-ity can be undertaken for one or more purposes. They can include deter-mining the existing or baseline condition, recommending and prioritizingmaintenance and repair actions, det
38、ermining the suitability and service-ability for specific uses and loads, ensuring life safety, improving durabil-ity, enabling historic preservation, establishing a baseline condition forchange of ownership or legal purposes, or many other special purposes onthe basis of the specific structure and
39、its current or proposed function.This manual presents guidelines for assessment procedures, includinginspection, investigation, evaluation and testing methods, and a generalformat for an assessment report. Specific inspection techniques arebeyond the scope of this manual because it is presumed that
40、inspectionpersonnel will possess the requisite knowledge based on their qualifica-tions. Because any condition assessment will require “engineering judg-ment“ and contain factors that cannot be readily defined and standard-12 UNDERWATER INVESTIGATIONSized, this manual is intended as a guide to be us
41、ed by the professionalengineer as part of an underwater structural condition assessment of anexisting facility. The adoption or use of some or all of the recommenda-tions contained in this manual by personnel not experienced or qualifiedin the appropriate areas of waterfront structures is not an acc
42、eptable sub-stitute for the use of qualified professional engineering services.The scope of this manual is limited to the engineering and technicalrequirements for conducting underwater facility assessments. Diving andrelated safety issues may be significant factors in conducting the assess-ments, b
43、ut they are not covered within the scope of this manual. However,the very nature of the work, in addition to requiring technical competence,also requires proper training and preparation. This training is necessary tooffset the inherent special hazards and to allow the safe operation of spe-cial unde
44、rwater equipment and techniques, breathing apparatus, and spe-cial suits. Such special hazards may include differential pressures; high-velocity water flow; zero-visibility conditions; underwater entanglementhazards; confined space entries; equipment tag-out and lock-out proce-dures; penetration div
45、ing; contaminated water diving; and diving-relatedsicknesses and injuries such as embolisms, the bends, nitrogen narcosis,and physical exhaustion. It is therefore imperative that applicable safetyand training requirements be adhered to in conducting such work.1.2 IMPORTANCE OF INSPECTIONSUnderwater
46、inspections are a necessary part of effective structuremaintenance and management programs. They play an important part inprotecting the public, providing reliable service, and reducing mainte-nance and construction costs. Structural conditions above water thatcould lead to failure, loss of life, or
47、 property damage are often observed byengineers, maintenance workers, and sometimes passing motorists. Simi-lar structural conditions underwater are almost never observed by thesesame groups until the distress has progressed to the point that damage isevident above water. Failures of bridges due to
48、underwater causes haveled to requirements for periodic underwater inspections of bridges in theUnited States. Other public and private organizations have also adoptedsimilar policies.Underwater inspections can play an important part in structure main-tenance programs. All structures deteriorate and
49、are subject to environ-mental and external physical forces. Although individual materials havediffering mechanisms of deterioration, the environment at the waterline,with moderate temperatures, moisture, oxygen, and chlorides or otherchemicals, is conducive to most forms of deterioration. This distress maynot be recognizable from above water, nor can the extent and severity beINTRODUCTION 3determined in most cases. An engineer cannot fully define the extent ofdistress or design an appropriate repair wit
