Greetings!
SHRP 2 has launched the NDToolbox--an electronic catalog of nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques. The toolbox includes summaries of NDT technologies; documentation for recommended test procedures, protocols, and available standards and guidelines; samples of data output and guidance on interpreting and presenting results; and equipment features (including cost, availability and specifications). The NDToolbox covers NDT techniques for the following:
* Evaluating concrete bridge decks;
* Using field spectroscopy devices to fingerprint commonly used construction materials;
* Gathering uniformity measurements on new hot-mix asphalt (HMA) layers;
* Identifying delaminations between HMA layers;
* Conducting real-time smoothness measurements on portland cement concrete;
* Continuous deflection pavement measuring; and
* Mapping voids, debonding, delaminations, moisture, and other defects behind or within tunnel linings.
Learn more about the NDToolbox by reading Nondestructive Testing to Identify Concrete Bridge Deck Deterioration (SHRP 2 Report S2-R06A-RR-1).
