Distressed and deteriorating structures, foundations, and other infrastructure post a great risk to structural integrity, and even subtle damages can undermine overall reliability and safety. Effective structural integrity doesn’t just occur the moment where impairments and deficiencies occur; rather, structural integrity should be a part of a comprehensive mechanical integrity program. Examples of structures and foundations include:
Problem areas to observe include cracks, spalling, buckling, foundation shifting, corroded anchor bolts, and aging structures, to name a few. Common deficiencies and damage found in structural steel support structures consist of corrosion, impact and fire damage, overload, and missing bolts/nuts. In concrete, damages could come from carbonation, inadequate coverage, anchor bolt damage/corrosion, and compressor foundation cracking.
