Thank you for your feedback
The first step, after you have started your Civil RBI Analysis is to determine the Condition Status for you Component-DM combination.
Methodology
The key question here is: “What was the condition status of the Component or asset during the last inspection?”
This entails reviewing the Inspection History and crediting the applicable Degradation Mechanisms.
Condition Status
A classification of condition status as per the last inspection is applied as indicated in the table below.
More detailed guidance can be found in Civil InfoBase documents.
Condition statuses:
Concrete asset | Steel asset | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
| As Built No signs of deterioration. The asset seems to be in a new or as-built condition. |
|
| Minor Damage Local deterioration of protective system: paint or concrete cover. Structural integrity not deteriorated, no reduction of safety factor. |
|
| Moderate Damage General failure of the coating or concrete cover. Deterioration of the structural integrity has set in at a significant degree or rate. |
|
| Severe damage Coating/concrete cover has generally failed. The structural integrity is extensively deteriorated. There can be signs of distress. |
|
| Extreme damage Structural integrity is extremely low. The signs of distress become more apparent. |

Inspection History
An Equipment Condition History (ECH), which credits a Schedule with the RBI assessment in scope, is automatically used in the RBI inspection History. However, when a GENERAL Component was credited with the inspecting of the RBI damage mechanisms, the ECH must be Applied to the RBI Inspection History.
- Make sure that the assessment view is expanded to show the top section.
- Select the Inspection History tab.
- You will see the created ECHs.
- Select the applicable ECH.
- Click the red Apply button.
Apply an Inspection History.
- Credit the DM (AR or NAR) to confirm that it has been inspected.
- Click Save.
- RBI will now use the inspection date of this ECH as the last inspection date for the selected DM.
- Alternatively, a new ECH can be created by clicking the ECH icon or an Inspection History can be added manually by clicking the +.
Create a new Inspection History if there is no ECH to Apply. Visual Material
