Detailed Visual Inspection, Structural & Durability Modelling, Analysis, Assessment, and Repair Strategy and Cost of 1300m2 Post-Tensioned Slab and Beams of Residential Complex Car Park - Port Melbourne
Project Scope
Scope of project is presented in four stages as follows:
- Detailed visual inspection, crack mapping and survey (to obtain the actual deflection of the slab and beams)
- Destructive Testing including Chloride Content Measurements and Carbonation Depth Measurement
- Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Techniques to obtain actual mechanical properties and quality of the concrete including GPR, Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity, Ultrasonic Pulse Echo, Crack Depth Measurement, Rebound Hammer
- Durability modelling, analysis, and assessment as well as prediction of the residual service life of the structure
- Structural modelling, Finite-Element (FE) analysis, and then, the structural assessment based on the outcome of the analysis
- Structural Strengthening Design
- Repair Design & Specifications
