About this title

Synopsis:

The extensive changes and additions from the 1982 edition are based on evidence from the increasing deterioration of concrete structures. Provides non-specialist civil and structural engineers with an overview for planning a program of in-situ testing of hardened concrete. The scope is wide, covering in detail all the major established methods used throughout the world, and outlining new techniques that show promise for future development. The techniques discussed include ultrasonic, probes, cores, several electromagnetic frequencies, electrical conductivity, and chemical testing for load capability, durability, integrity, surface tension, and other qualities. Appendices contain examples of whole programs, and of correction and evaluation of specific results. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
