The book presents the work of the RILEM Technical Committee
249-ISC. Addressing the effective application of new
recommendations for non-destructive in situ strength assessment of
concrete, it provides information about the different steps of the
investigation and processing of test results, until the delivery of
strength estimates, and includes tables giving the minimum required
number of cores in a variety of situations as well as several
examples of how the recommendations can be used in practice. The
book explores a topic which is of major importance, i.e. the
assessment of concrete compressive strength in existing structures.
This property (both mean and standard deviation) is a key input in
many cases, such as the reinforcement of structures, the safety
checking, the extension of service life. As the new RILEM
recommendations imply a deep revision (and improvement) of field
practice, the book is intended for managers of structures,
structural engineers and specialists of NDT that have to answer
these issues. More widely, it will benefit engineers and students
who are interested in NDT and in the safety analysis of structures.

The non-destructive evaluation of civil engineering structures in
reinforced concrete is becoming an increasingly important issue in
this field of engineering. This book proposes innovative ways to
deal with this problem, through the characterization of concrete
durability indicators by the use of non-destructive techniques. It
presents the description of the various non-destructive techniques
and their combination for the evaluation of indicators. The
processing of data issued from the combination of NDE methods is
also illustrated through examples of data fusion methods. The
identification of conversion models linking observables, obtained
from non-destructive measurements, to concrete durability
indicators, as well as the consideration of different sources of
variability in the assessment process, are also described. An
analysis of in situ applications is carried out in order to
highlight the practical aspects of the methodology. At the end of
the book the authors provide a methodological guide detailing the
proposed non-destructive evaluation methodology of concrete
indicators.
