Many concrete structures and elements of concrete infrastructure
have exceeded their original design lives and are deteriorating to
an extent where they are becoming dangerous. The deterioration can
be internal or not obvious and therefore only shows up with
detailed testing. Non-destructive evaluation of reinforced concrete
structures, Volume 1: Deterioration processes and standard test
methods reviews the processes of deterioration and classical and
standard test methods. Part one discusses deterioration of
reinforced concrete and testing problems with chapters on topics
such as key issues in the non-destructive testing of concrete
structures, when to use non-destructive testing of reinforced
concrete structures, deterioration processes in reinforced
concrete, modelling ageing and corrosion processes in reinforced
concrete structures, components in concrete and their impact on
quality, and predicting the service life of reinforced concrete
structures. Part two reviews classical and standard testing methods
including microscopic examination of deteriorated concrete, the
analysis of solid components and their ratios in reinforced
concrete structures, the determination of chlorides in concrete
structures, and investigating the original water content of
reinforced concrete structures. With its distinguished editors and
international team of contributors, Non-destructive evaluation of
reinforced concrete structures, Volume 1: Deterioration processes
and standard test methods will be a standard reference for civil
and structural engineers as well as those concerned with making
decisions regarding the safety of reinforced concrete structures.
The aim of this selection of papers is to bring together
researchers working very deep in the basics of electromagnetic NDT
on one hand and industrialist discussing their practical problems
on the other hand. The papers cover topics as; Microwave
applications and Material Characterization; General Eddy Current
Inspection Tasks; Novel Techniques and Sensors; Magnetic Flux
leakage Inspection; Steam Generator Eddy Current Inspection Tasks;
and Material Characterization. Especially Novel Techniques and
Sensors and Material Characterization are discussed on multiple
papers. This publication gives a good overview of the many
scientific problems in this area, but also explains the actual
challenges for the scientific-technical community, like problems
with in-line inspection of pipelines or the enhancing of the
inspection performance in steam generator tubes inspection in the
nuclear field. The material is important for scientists and
engineers working in the field of electromagnetic non-destructive
testing, in defect detection and sizing, as well as in material
characterization.

Provides a comprehensive discussion from examination of the
components in concrete and their affect on quality through to the
role of and tools required for lifetime managementExperts in the
field identify the testing problems associated with infrastructure
considering design, build and maintenance stagesPresents a guide
for when to use non-destructive testing of reinforced concrete
structures including the role of time in testing
