Description
This important collection reviews key inspection and monitoring techniques and their applications to bridges, buildings, and other civil structures. The first group of chapters covers ways for testing corrosion in concrete components. Reflecting their continuing importance and vulnerability to decay, the next series of chapters describes ways of testing wood components within civil structures. A final group of chapters looks at visual and acoustic techniques and their use in assessing bridges in particular. Inspection and Monitoring Techniques for Bridges and Civil Structures will be an invaluable reference for civil engineers involved in safety inspection, maintenance, and repair.
Table of Contents
Testing Steel Corrosion in Reinforced Concrete. Alkali-silica Reaction (ASR) Testing of Corrosion in Concrete. Acoustic Testing of Concrete. Electrical Impedance Testing of Wood Components. Detecting Decay in Wood Components. Testing Timber Pine Length in Bridges. Ultrasonic Testing of Structural Timber Components. Digital Radioscopy Analysis of Timber Structures. Visual Inspection Techniques for Bridges and Other Transport Structures. Acoustic Emission Testing of Bridges. Bridge Inspection Using Virtual Reality and Photogrammetry. Discontinuity in Masonry Wall.

Description
The safety, maintenance and repair of bridges and buildings depend on effective inspection and monitoring techniques. These methods need to be able to identify problems often hidden within structures before they become serious. This important collection reviews key techniques and their applications to bridges, buildings and other civil structures.
The first group of chapters reviews ways of testing corrosion in concrete components. Given their continuing importance and vulnerability to decay, the next series of chapters describes ways of testing wood components within civil structures.
