Concrete bridge decks are vital components of bridges that provide the driving surface to
bridge users. Partial or complete failure of this component has a significant impact on the …

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is used to evaluate deterioration of reinforced concrete
bridge decks based on measuring signal attenuation from embedded rebar. The existing …

Deterioration of existing bridge decks, which usually originates with the deck cracking on the
top surface, is a common problem in North America. It causes frequent repair of the decks to …

To maintain infrastructure safety and integrity, nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technologies
are often used for detection of subsurface defects and for holistic condition assessment of …

A reinforced concrete bridge deck is often at risk of many forms of deterioration which affect
its service life and maintenance cost. Nondestructive test (NDT) methods have seen …

Highway agencies monitor the condition of thousands of bridge decks every year. Even
though Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) has been used in bridge-deck evaluation, Step …

One of the concerns about the use of passive Infrared Thermography (IRT) for structural
health monitoring (SHM) is the determination of a favorable period to conduct the …

Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a popular non-destructive technique for evaluating RC
bridge elements as it can identify major subsurface defects within a short span of time. The …

Infrared thermography has been successfully applied as a remote non-destructive testing
approach for access to the internal conditions of reinforced concrete bridge slabs. Due to the …

Abstract In North America, common practices in bridge condition assessment include visual
inspection and nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques, and results are reported as …
