Condition Assessment and Rehabilitation of Structures (CARS-2017)

The document provides a format for conducting a rapid visual inspection (RVI) of buildings to assess structural condition. The format is divided into 3 parts: 1) General information about the building. 2) Description of the structural system. 3) Survey of any signs of distress, deformation or deterioration, including cracking, water damage, corrosion and existing repairs. Based on the assessment, recommendations are provided regarding need for further evaluation, repair/strengthening works, barricading or reconstruction. Suggestions for non-destructive evaluation techniques, repair materials and rehabilitation techniques are also included if deemed necessary.
