Handbook on Nondestructive Testing of Concrete

Civil engineers will value this resource that examines the tools and techniques used to estimate the in-place strength on concrete, permeation properties that relate to potential durability, and the methods used to assess the internal condition of concrete and the corrosion activity of steel reinforcement.

Summary

Offers an analysis of nondestructive testing used to evaluate concrete structures. This title examines the tools and techniques used to estimate the in-place strength of concrete and permeation properties that relate to potential durability and describes the methods used to assess the condition of concrete integrity and steel reinforcement.

Additional text

"The handbook is chock-full of high quality graphics, figures and photographs. Although the book is aimed at practicing engineers with responsibilities of concrete quality control or investigations of hardened concrete, graduate students will find the book an excellent overview of both popular and lesser-known non-destructive testing techniques. Strongly recommended for civil engineers, builders, and academic library collections supporting civil engineering curricula at the university level."-E-Streams, Vol. 8, No. 1, Jan. 2005
