Application of Radar and Thermography to Bridge Deck Condition Surveys
This paper summarizes the theoretical and practical aspects of the application of radar and thermography to bridge deck condition surveys. A prototype vehicle was developed. The radar waveforms and the thermographic images were calibrated in the field to various forms of physical distress. It is shown that radar and thermography are useful tools for assessing the condition of bridge decks and that the two technologies are complementary; thermography is most useful for locating subsurface defects on exposed concrete surfaces and radar is most applicable to detecting defects in concrete deck slabs which have a bituminous surfacing.
