Inspection and Maintenance of Structures in the United States: Methodologies
This chapter focuses on the different inspection methodologies practiced in the United States for civil engineering structures. Inspection and maintenance operations must be considered during the design phase of a civil engineering structure. The duration of use of a bridge can only be assured if a maintenance and inspection program is put in place as soon as construction is decided. The inspection team usually consists of: a project leader who must have engineering experience or 5 years' experience in inspecting civil engineering structures; an assistant. The inspection program should be drawn up by an engineer who has at least the following qualifications: be a certified and registered engineer or have at least 10 years' experience in bridge inspections; and successfully passed a federal training graduation exam in inspection of structures. Routine maintenance usually involves: cleaning the deck, supports, de‐icing salt areas; maintaining the rainwater drainage system; cleaning the expansion joints; and checking the concrete seals.
