Assessment of Bridge Deck Repairs by a Non-Destructive Technique
Abstract At present, the extent of delamination or debonding of concrete and concrete repairs in bridge decks is assessed by such techniques as sounding with a steel rod or hammer, or chain drag. While useful for quick assessment these methods are subjective, and depend largely on the acuity of the operators’ hearing. It is necessary to repeat the test several times, each time with a different operator, and average the results to reduce the subjective influence. The CEBTP Paris have developed a test known as Transient Dynamic Response (TDR), in which the equipment duplicates the ear of the operator.
