METHODS OF INSPECTION AND NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING OF EXISTING BRIDGE PIERS AND FOUNDATIONS
METHODES D'INSPECTION ET D'AUSCULTATION DES FONDATIONS ET PILES DES PONTS ANCIENS
Regulations governing the inspection and non-destructive testing of bridge foundations are outlined, and the different types of foundation found in existing structures are briefly recalled. Different methods of surveillance are mentioned; periodic examinations (visual observation of the conditions of foundations and underwater inspection), then exceptional measures: isolating the structure from water, local stripping of the foundations, investigation by means of boreholes, tests in boreholes, in-situ mechanical tests.
