Chapter
Magnetic Field Imaging of Steel Reinforcing Bars in Concrete Using Portable Scanning Systems
Concrete structures throughout the world face the danger of sudden collapse if the condition of their steel reinforcement is not monitored regularly. Bridges are the most vulnerable to catastrophic failure as ...

Chapter
Defect Visualization and Location of Reinforcing Bars and Cables in Concrete Using Active Electromagnetic Induction Imaging
Reinforced concrete is used to build many modern structures such as bridges and buildings. The strength of these structures is dependent upon the integrity of the steel reinforcing embedded in the concrete. Ov...

Chapter
An Intelligent Electrical Time Domain Reflectometry System for the Detection and Characterisation of Fault Conditions in Posttensioning Ducts of Smart Concrete Structures
In civil engineering structures involving prestressed concrete, the use of posttensioned systems is very common. Post-tensioning is achieved by passing steel cables into ducts previously cast into the concrete...

Chapter
Ultrasonic NDT Prototype for the Inspection of Ducted Post Stressing Tendons in Concrete Beams
There is worldwide concern about concrete bridges which derive their strength from post stressed steel tendons in grouted ducts. Problems arise when grouting has not been carried out properly, since the combin...
