Existing technologies for condition monitoring of construction materials and bridges

This paper gives a brief overview of some of the current non-destructive evaluation (NDE) methods used for inspection of civil structures in the United States particularly bridges. Several examples are given of instrumentation developments over the recent past which have resulted in improvements in non-destructive inspection of civil structures. Examples also are given of techniques either used in other applications or those emerging from research laboratories which afford the potential to greatly improve present NDE technologies for inspecting civil structures. Finally, suggestions are made for advanced NDE systems which when optimally developed will increase the safety of civil structures. (A) For the covering abstract see ITRD E127016.
