Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation Research Program: Evaluation of Civil Works Metal Structures
To keep civil works metal structures such as dams, locks (waterways) and their components fully functional and safe, a thorough inspection procedure must be implemented. Engineering personnel who oversee the inspections at civil works projects can use the theory, applications, advantages, and disadvantages of each nondestructive testing (NDT) method as discussed in this report to guide the selection of an appropriate test method. Information on the elements of an NDT method that should be specified in an NDT contract are discussed. Because corrosion detection is an important part of an inspection, this process is also discussed. Some nondestructive testing methods are visual inspection, liquid penetrant inspection, ultrasonic tests, radiography and eddy currents inspection.
