Some basic NDT techniques utilized to assess concrete structures include:Once concrete has hardened, it is important to determine whether the final structure is suitable for its designated use. To do ...

New broadband ultrasonic system creates high-resolution 3D images of hidden concrete defects without manual tuning.

Nothing is truly set in concrete, and this is especially true for structures made of concrete. When structures made of concrete like bridges, buildings, and tunnels are loaded repeatedly over long ...

Ongoing research into limiting concrete form face surface defects with controlled frequency vibrators (CFVs) has shown great promise. Field investigations into limiting high frequency vibration to ...

A new IAEA research project will investigate how artificial intelligence can be used to strengthen non-destructive testing techniques used in disaster response. The project aims to enable faster, ...

Currently, the rebound hammer is widely used for estimation of compressive strength of concrete as general testing method. Although rebound hammer has made great contribution for compressive strength ...

An IAEA technical cooperation course on non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques for the evaluation of civil structures, held recently in Quito, Ecuador, will help countries in the Latin America ...

The use of the non-destructive testing methods for determining the compressive strength of high performance concrete ensures high quality. Compressive strength test results are mainly used to ...
