Description
Non-destructive methods for materials testing are being increasingly used in testing concrete structures. In the construction industry, their use has resulted in improvements in the quality of concrete products and structures. It is no longer possible to rely solely on the traditional methods of quality control, and progressive, non-destructive methods must be applied in modern quality-control practice. This new approach in the field of non-destructive testing of concrete structures requires that new parameters be introduced for their verification and evaluation with regard to concrete strength, and for the solution of problems related to the use of combined multiparameter non-destructive methods. The present work provides a comprehensive overview on the solutions available for problems encountered in the non-destructive testing of concrete. Including the use of original combined ultrasonic-pulse methods developed by the author for testing concrete strength. Special attention is given to specific issues of testing in concrete structures and members by means of the combined and one-parameter methods and to the interpretation of the measurement results.
