Sampling criteria have been developed for planning and executing an underwater inspection of waterfront structures. The proposed sampling criteria use the scientific approach to sampling, where an estimate of the condition and the extent of required maintenance is obtained, which guarantees that the inspection will gather information that can be analyzed in a manner consistent with standard statistical practices. Data obtained using these criteria can be compared to each other with proven correlation procedures to indicate trends in deterioration rates and allow more accurate projections of maintenance and repair requirements. Keywords: Statistical analysis; Validation.

Treatise on Materials Science and Technology, Volume 28: Materials for Marine Systems and Structures provides an integrated approach, utilizing the environmental information of the ocean scientists, materials science, and structural integrity principles as they apply to offshore structures and ships. The book discusses the materials and their performance in marine systems and structures; the marine environment; and marine befouling. The text also describes marine corrosion; corrosion control; metallic materials for marine structures; and concrete marine structures. Materials for mooring systems and fracture control for marine structures are also considered. Professional scientists and engineers, as well as graduate students in the fields of ocean and marine engineering and naval architecture and associated fields will find the book useful.
