Development of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation (REMR) Research Program is documented in this report. This program will involve research and, where available, the collection and synthesizing of research results on repair, evaluation, maintenance, and rehabilitation of existing Civil Works projects. Primary research problem areas which willbe addressed are: Concrete and Steel Structures, Geotechnical, Hydraulics, Coastal, Electrical and Mechanical, Environmental Impact, and Operations Management. Section A of the report recounts the background of the program and the development of the research problem areas, and summarizes program objectives and funding. Section B is a detailed identification and assessment of the problems in each problem area. Section C presents the details of the recommended research program. Section D discusses technology transfer. A synopsis of the August 1981 REMR Workshop in Arlington, Va., at which many of the REMR problems/needs were identified and assigned to problem areas, is included as Appendix A.

The REMR Research Program was a 6-year, $35-million research effort which was completed in Fiscal Year 1989. The primary objective of the program was to identify and develop effective and affordable technology for maintaining and extending the service life of existing Corps Civil Works structures. For management purposes, the program was broken down into seven broad problem areas: (1) Concrete and Steel Structures, (2) Geotechnical, (3) Hydraulics, (4) Coastal, (5) Electrical and Mechanical, (6) Environmental Impacts, and (7) Operations Management. The report provides an overview of the program and describes selected research results in each of the seven problem areas. Appendix A is a listing of REMR Reports. The REMR Research Program has clearly demonstrated the benefits of research in getting more value for the dollars spent on repair, evaluation, maintenance, and rehabilitation (REMR) activities.

This report describes the REMR Management System, a computer-aided system for managing REMR activities for Civil Works structures. The system consists of three modules: the Basic Functions module, Condition Evaluation and Rating module, and the Consequence Modeling module. The Basic Functions module contains the procedures for data management and life-cycle cost analysis. The Condition Evaluation and Rating module contains a collection of condition evaluation procedures for various types of structures. The Consequence Modeling module includes tools useful for long-term planning. The Basic Functions module is described in detail in this report. The description of the Condition Evaluation and Rating module and the Consequence Modeling module is limited to the presentation of the concepts; the details of these modules will be reported separately. The REMR Management System is designed as a planning tool and an information system for project-level management. It provides procedures for condition inspection and evaluation, data management, and economic analysis. These procedures can be used to prioritize REMR activities based on condition, select maintenance and repair (M & R) alternatives based on performance, and compare the cost of various M & R alternatives based on life-cycle costs. The REMR Management System promotes faster, more objective, condition-oriented performance of REMR work. (KR).

The REMR Bulletin is published in accordance with AR 25-30 as one of the information exchange functions of the Corps of Engineers. It is primarily intended to be a forum whereby information on repair, evaluation, maintenance, and rehabilitation work done or managed by Corps field offices can be rapidly and widely disseminated to other Corps offices, other U.S. Government agencies, and the engineering community in general. Contribution of articles, news, reviews, notices, and other pertinent types of information are solicited from all sources and will be considered for publication so long as they are relevant to REMR activities. Special consideration will be given to reports of Corps field experience in repair and maintenance of civil works projects. In considering the application of technology described herein the reader should note that the purpose of The REMR Bulletin is information exchange and not the promulgation of Corps policy; thus guidance on recommended practice in any given area should be sought through appropriate channels or in other documents. The contents of this bulletin are not to be used for advertising, or promotional purposes, nor are they to be published without proper credits. Any copyright material released to and used in The REMR Bulletin retains its copyright protection, and cannot be reproduced without permission of copyright holder. Citation of trade names does not constitute an official endorsement or approval of the use of such commercial products. The REMR Bulletin will be issued on an irregular basis as dictated by the quantity and importance of information available for dissemination. This issues features articles on masonry in older buildings, embankment dams, inspections and high-performance materials and systems research program.

Operation and maintenance (O & M) activities of the Corps of Engineers must comply with the environmental laws and regulations just as other Corps activities and private actions. The O & M procedures developed under the Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation (REMR) Research Program might result in water pollution, use or disposal of hazardous or toxic materials, or other actions that are regulated by environmental laws. A previous review of environmental laws for applicability to REMR activities identified 14 laws, regulations, or executive orders that may require compliance actions (Technical Report REMR-EI-1). Keywords: Environmental compliance, Environmental laws; Environmental statutes; Executive orders; Operation and maintenance; Water pollution. (JES).
