Video: Field Validation Tests of Nondestructive Testing Technologies on a Concrete Bridge Deck

Greetings!

 

In October and November of 2010, 20 nondestructive testing (NDT) technologies were evaluated during tests on a concrete bridge deck in Haymarket, Virginia, as part of a SHRP 2 research project. This research project is being conducted by Rutgers University with the University of Texas at El Paso and the German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing. Teams from industry and academia demonstrated how their NDT technologies -such as ground-penetrating radar, impact echo, and infrared thermography-can be used to detect deterioration in concrete bridge decks. Video segments of the tests are included on the following page.
