Forensic Evaluation Techniques for Masonry and Concrete Construction
The paper discusses methods of nondestructive testing used in masonry and concrete evaluations. Many of the methods discussed were first used to evaluate concrete structures and have been adapted for use with masonry. Test methods discussed include: Infrared Thermography (IRT), Surface Penetrating Radar (SPR), and Impact Echo (IE) testing methods. These test methods can be used as evaluation tools for existing construction and as quality assurance tools for new construction offering advantages over visual inspection alone. The paper addresses the basic technical aspects of the test methods so that the audience has a general working knowledge of the test methods and understands the limitations of each.
