Trends in bridge condition assessment using non-destructive testing methods
In a few countries, bridge condition assessment procedures include nondestructive testing techniques, but regular application and integration is still rare. Main reasons are a lack of knowledge at the bridge authorities, cost and time consumption and difficulties in data interpretation. The EC funded integrated project 'Sustainable Bridges' looks at optimization of NDT for railway bridges and new ways for combining conventional and modern methods. Among other topics we are developing automated measurement systems and a method database. Several steps are needed to foster the use of NDT in bridge condition assessment: the measurement methods have to be improved, automated application system have to be developed, data interpretation and visualization techniques have to be optimized and everything has to be integrated into the procedures used by the bridge authorities. The work done in the first half of the 'Sustainable Bridges' project tackled all these topics, major progress has been made. In the second half of the project focus is on information and training for railway engineers and on integration into assessment procedures.
