35 years of insitu assessment of concrete
Developments of techniques for insitu assessment of concrete over the past 35 years, including nondestructive methods, are reviewed and analysed on the basis of the Author experiences. The effects of changing demands by Engineers driven by industrial circumstances, including a shift in focus from strength to durability and integrity assessment are traced in relation to equipment developments. An important recent feature is the impact of digital technology upon data handling, interpretation and presentation capabilities, leading to significant new industrial applications. This has been supported by extensive research at Universities and other laboratories to assess test capabilities and develop interpretation procedures. In some cases, this has been stimulated by organisations such as RILEM and research councils. Concurrent developments of authorative documentation available to Engineers have also been significant. These include new National Standards, Committee Reports and Compendia of test methods, as well as textbooks and handbooks. Several new European Standards have recently been published, whilst others are under development, and key features of these will be outlined. Such documentation is an essential component of increased industrial acceptance of insitu testing. Future prospects for insitu testing will also be briefly considered in the light of likely industrial needs and financial constraints, together with availability of appropriate accredited training programmes.
