Advanced NDT methods for quality assurance of concrete structures
The application of non-destructive evaluation (NDE) methods for quality assurance of concrete structures has made considerable progress recently. Driven by technology and knowledge transfer from other areas of materials testing and medicine a versatile toolbox of methods for the investigation of RC structures has emerged from research. In the area of simulation and 3D-reconstruction of ultrasonic and radar data, progress was driven by more powerful computers and development of state of the art software for 3D re-construction and visualization of data. Bringing these developments into the state of practice, into everyday use on construction sites by trained engineers rather than researchers still remains a major challenge. To earn the trust of industry, the reliability of these non-destructive testing (NDT) methods should be established and adequately verified to prove that their application is worth the additional expense and effort. Validation of NDT methods has to prove that the customer requirements are met by the test. A number of reference specimens have been developed over the years at BAM and other locations, acting as a standard for specific testing tasks. Those specimens are available to the NDT community for comparing their methods and instruments under independent conditions.
