Description
Written by internationally recognized researchers and experts in the field, V. Mohan Malhotra and Nicholas J. Carino, this new edition provides the most comprehensive, up-to-date information available on nondestructive testing (NDT) methods used to evaluate concrete structures. It gives you a comprehensive understanding of the tools and techniques used to estimate the in-place strength of concrete and permeation properties that relate to potential durability, and also describes methods used to assess the internal condition of concrete and corrosion activity of steel reinforcement.
Sixteen comprehensive chapters cover:
Surface Hardness Methods
Penetration Resistance Methods
Pullout Test Method
Break-Off Test Method
Maturity Method
Pull-Off Test and Permeation Tests
Resonant Frequency Methods
Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Method
Combined Methods
Magnetic/Electrical Methods
Methods to Evaluate Corrosion of Reinforcement
Radioactive/ Nuclear Methods
Short-Pulse Radar Methods
Stress Wave Propagation Methods
Infrared Thermographic Techniques
Acoustic Emission Methods
This handbook meets the growing needs of practicing engineers engaged in quality control or investigations of hardened concrete and concrete technologists who evaluate concrete structures. It also serves as a comprehensive reference for graduate students in concrete technology.
