Comprehensive Survey of the Silt Reservoir Structures Technical Condition

Abstract

Abstract The aim of this work is to obtain information about the condition of the sludge tank supporting and enclosing building structures, identifying and fixing existing defects in order to assess their possible impact on structures during its further operation. Archival surveys were carried out, site documentation was selected and studied, load-bearing structures engineering measurements were carried out, building structures were inspected, and the structural condition was photographed selectively, graphic materials were made, technical conclusions were drawn up with conclusions and recommendations for further structures safe operation in order to achieve this goal. The technical surveying included a building structures external examination with damages fixation. The structures general technical condition of the, the presence and nature of the defect’s propagation were previously visually recorded, and then refined using measuring equipment. Verification calculations were also carried out with the design and current load analysis on the sludge tank elements, and the tank supporting structures concrete strength was determined by the ultrasonic method.
