21、etary201.1R-2 ACI COMMITTEE REPORTCHAPTER 1INTRODUCTION1.1ScopeThis is a guide for a visual inspection of concrete inservice. A visual inspection is an examination of concrete toidentify and define many of the various conditions concretemay exhibit during its service life. The visual inspection isty

22、pically limited to the surfaces of the concrete structure thatare visually accessible.1.2IntroductionBy completing a visual inspection of the concrete immedi-ately after construction, and through repetition at intervalsduring the concretes service life, the visual inspectionprovides important histor

23、ical information on performanceand durability. The inspection results also aid in earlydetection of distress and deterioration, enabling repair orrehabilitation before replacement is necessary.It is important that the inspector properly document anyobservations related to environmental and loading c

24、onditions.Inspections are often supplemented with nondestructivetests, destructive tests, and other investigations, especiallywhen distress and deterioration is observed and informationregarding the internal condition of the concrete is needed.While a visual inspection is most often used in connecti

25、onwith the condition survey of concrete that is showing defectsor some degree of distress, its application is recommendedfor all concrete structures. It is important that the inspectorproperly document any observations related to environmentalexposure (effects from physical loads, deformations, defe

26、cts,imperfections, and distress), durability, and performance.Concrete material records and construction practices shouldbe collected and reviewed.The checklist includes items that might have a bearing onthe durability and performance of the concrete. Individualsmaking the survey should not limit th

27、eir investigation to theitems listed, but should review any other contributingfactors. Following the guide does not eliminate the need forintelligent observations and the use of sound judgment.Individuals performing the inspection should be experiencedand competent in concrete condition surveys. In

28、addition towritten descriptions, sketches of relevant features are valuableand encouraged. Photographs, including a scale to indicatedimensions, are of great value in showing the condition ofconcrete. Video coverage should be considered for docu-mentation as it provides an enhanced visual dimension

29、thatmay exceed that of still photography.The descriptions and photographs provided in Chapter 2illustrate typical observations encountered during inspectionsand aid in the preparation of a condition survey report byidentifying the characteristics of potential problems anddescribing their condition.

30、The checklist in Chapter 3 isprovided to assist the user to identify the characteristics ofpotential condition survey findings and their description.1.3ReferencesThis guide should be used in conjunction with ACIConcrete Terminology and the following American ConcreteInstitute documents.201.2R Guide

Thepurpose of the photographs

38、 is to standardize the reporting ofthe condition of the concrete in a structure.
