Laboratory tests in rigid pavement

Abstract

Deterioration of concrete structure is consequence of aging, applied loads and weathering. In this paper, several laboratory tests were presented, compared to computational models and a field test case study. The purpose of the laboratory measurements is the analysis of the results in the case of different size cracks in concrete beams, filled with several materials.

Ground Penetrating Radar System: Principles

“…The advantages of an antenna array can be seen in several applications: mine detection [67], archaeological prospection [65], bridge inspection [68], utility mapping [69], ad crack detection [70][71][72][73] in addition to a host of other civil engineering and geoscience applications.…”

“…Recently, GPR has been widely used in various civil engineering applications [70,71,[100][101][102]. GPR has been applied to many cultural heritage applications; some of these applications are described below in two different projects from Spain and Portugal.…”
