UNDERWATER INSPECTION AND REPAIR FOR OFFSHORE STRUCTURES Benefit from a much-needed, up-to-date handbook on underwater inspection and repair processes and technologies Underwater Inspection and Repair for Offshore Structures fills a gap in the literature to provide an overview of the inspection and repair processes for both steel and concrete offshore structures. Authors and noted experts on the topic John V. Sharp and Gerhard Esdal guide readers through the reasons why inspection and repair are performed and how both are linked to the management of structural integrity, statutory requirements, and various types of damage. The book addresses critical topics, including the execution and planning of inspection and repair, the tools and methods used, and their deployment underwater. The authors put particular focus on steel and concrete offshore oil and gas installations, but the content is also applicable to the substructures of offshore wind turbines. Underwater Inspection and Repair for Offshore Structures is complementary to the authors’ book Ageing and Life Extension of Offshore Structures, also from Wiley. This important book: Covers current inspection and monitoring techniques to evaluate existing structures Includes coverage of robotic (ROV) inspection and repair methods Provides an overview of repair and maintenance techniques applicable to the splash‑zone and underwater operations Written for engineers, designers, and safety auditors working with offshore structures. Underwater Inspection and Repair for Offshore Structures is a comprehensive resource for understanding how to effectively inspect and repair these vulnerable structures.

"In addition, four case studies are presented to illustrate the application of the above knowledge. The first case study describes the special aspects of underwater repairs to a concrete storm surge barrier damaged during construction. The second case study summarizes the procedures used for repairing a cracked concrete gravity dam by polyurethane resin injection methods. The third case study presents the various procedures used for repairing concrete railway bridge piers in a marine environment which were damaged by severe alkali-aggregate reaction. The final case study describes underwater repair procedures and concrete investigation techniques used in repairing the piers of a highway bridge." --

All civil works structures must be continually evaluated for structural safety, stability, and operational adequacy. This is particularly true for underwater structures partially because it is more difficult to establish existing damages than it is for structures above the water; and partially because the underwater failure of many structures, such as dams, can produce very serious loss of lives and property. The overall objective of this report is to present organized information essential to the evaluation and monitoring of the engineering condition needed for continued safety of underwater civil works structures. Specific objectives are: (a) to summarize the typical types of deterioration that occur in underwater concreate structures; (b) to provide engineering guidelines for inspecting the condition of underwater structures: and (c) to provide guidelines for interpreting inspection data. As recommended in the report, the inspection and evaluation of the engineering condition of underwater structures are preceded by a comprehensive review of the design of the structure and the construction techniques and materials used as well as its operation and maintenance history. Information is obtained from available engineering data on the structure and from onsite investigation. This report summarizes these activities, pertinent inspection procedures and techniques, and methods of evaluation used by the Corps of Engineers and the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station. Methods and procedures that were developed by other agencies and individuals for the evaluation of concreate civil works structures are also included. (SDW).

The vast extent of the investment in concrete structures in modern times has emphasized the need to maintain these structures in a systematic manner, so that they retain their structural integrity and full usefulness. Such maintenance must be preceded by regular and thorough inspection. This Guide to Good Practice describes the many types of damage - slight or more serious - which may be discovered and the equipment used to carry out inspections. Suggested inspection intervals, related to the severity of loadings and environmental conditions, are given.

The success of a repair or rehabilitation project depends on the specific plans designed for it. Concrete Structures: Protection, Repair and Rehabilitation provides guidance on evaluating the condition of the concrete in a structure, relating the condition of the concrete to the underlying cause or causes of that condition, selecting an appropriate repair material and method for any deficiency found, and using the selected materials and methods to repair or rehabilitate the structure. Guidance is also provided for engineers focused on maintaining concrete and preparing concrete investigation reports for repair and rehabilitation projects. Considerations for certain specialized types of rehabilitation projects are also given. In addition, the author translates cryptic codes, theories, specifications and details into easy to understand language. Tip boxes are used to highlight key elements of the text as well as code considerations based on the International Code Council or International Building Codes. The book contains various worked out examples and equations. Case Studies will be included along with diagrams and schematics to provide visuals to the book. Deals primarily with evaluation and repair of concrete structures Provides the reader with a Step by Step method for evaluation and repair of Structures Covers all types of Concrete structures ranging from bridges to sidewalks Handy tables outlining the properties of certain types of concrete and their uses
