Limitations and advantages of sonic and ultrasonic methods as tools for maintenance management of bridge decks and concrete slabs
Sonic and ultrasonic methods are excellent tools for diagnosis of problems with concrete slabs and bridge decks. However, it is important to fully understand the limitations of these methods. The conditions where these methods are most effective and those where the methods may not yield satisfactory results are presented. More importantly, cases when an integrated approach can be the best solutions are also outlined. This paper serves as a guideline for practitioners with a practical understanding of the methods to assess the theoretical and experimental limitations of these methods.
