The vast number of deteriorated bridge infrastructure highlights the importance of
implementing efficient and timely maintenance and rehabilitation strategies. Non-contact …

Abstract Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) uses prefabricated elements that are made
continuous using cast-in-place joints. Deck joints are normally referred to as “Closure …

Quantifying the condition of aging structures is important to verify structural integrity and long-
term reliability. Structural health monitoring plays a key role in the prevention of catastrophic …

Abstract Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), a locating instrument by design, has attracted
much interest as a non-destructive inspection technique for bridge decks due to its ease of …

This paper presents an overview of how Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods are
currently impacting bridge management in the United States (US). It is necessary for …

Jacketing technology using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is being applied for
seismic retrofit and rehabilitation of reinforced concrete (RC) columns designed and …

This paper demonstrates that the direct wave of a radar ground-coupled antenna may be
used for the nondestructive assessment of the physical condition of concrete, which directly …

The moisture content of concrete is a critical parameter for most of the physicochemical
pathologies, such as steel reinforcement corrosion, alkali-aggregate reaction, and freezing …

This study investigated the use of ultrasound-excited thermography to detect microcracks in
concrete materials. Pre-cracked concrete specimens full of standardised microcracks were …

A radar nondestructive testing (NDT) technique using an airborne horn antenna operating in
the far-field condition is developed for detecting damages such as debonding and concrete …
