Detection Without Danger
The trunnion rods that operate tainter gates on many of the nation’s earthen and concrete dams are aging and deteriorating, sometimes to the point of posing a safety hazard. But the typical method of determining the useful remaining life of such rods—stressing them until movement occurs—is not only difficult but in some cases dangerous. Now the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is refining a successful, safe, and nondestructive method for determining the remaining strength of these critical elements.
