Non Destructive Testing and Evaluation of Civil Engineering Structures

Non Destructive Testing and Evaluation of Civil Engineering Structures discusses the development of strategies for onsite ausculations by NDT in civil engineering, including objectives, limits and the usual techniques. In addition, the book covers physics principles, applications, new developments and the quality of measurements, uncertainties and variabilities of NDT methods. In addition, the book discusses how to characterize the exploitation of NDT measurements and their methodology for the combination of methods for concrete structure assessment and data fusion. These strategies can be developed for structure auscultation and the optimization of NDT evaluation, calibration, and in the presentation of case studies. Presents the latest developments performed in the community of NDT on different aspects Provides a methodology developed in laboratory and transferred onsite for the evaluation of concrete properties which are not usually addressed by NDT methods Includes the use of data fusion for merging the measurements provided by several NDT methods Includes examples of current and potential applications
