Current methods available for evaluating physical properties of concrete in existing structures to determine its capability of performing satisfactorily under service conditions are identified and discussed. Although general knowledge of the structural design criteria used for the principal structures of a project is essential to determine satisfactory procedures and locations for evaluation of the concrete physical properties, analysis for the purpose of determining structural capability is not within the scope of this report. The report recommends project design, operation and maintenance records and in-service inspection data to be reviewed.
