3. Steps in a typical evaluation of a concrete structure

The more precise steps in a typical evaluation of a concrete structure are given by Peter Emmons (1993):

2. Review of engineering data
     i. Design and construction document
    ii. Operation and maintenance record
    iii. Concrete (including materials used) records
    iv. Periodic inspection report

3. Condition survey
    i. Mapping of the various deficiencies
   ii. Monitoring
  iii. Joints survey
  iv. Sampling and testing
   v. Nondestructive testing
