96-11: Strength-Degredation Based Life Expectancy of Wood Cooling Towers Corrosion Unchecked biofouling can lead toLife expectancy predictions of wood cooling towers are accomplished with the aid of nondestructive and or destructive testing of representative samples of structural members and their connections. Based on the test information on the current condition and the original design stresses, rates of strength degradations are computed for critical components. The degradation rates, combined with structural analysis, are used to project a life expectancy of
