“…6, the radar wave signal is partially lost in this portion of the concrete specimen affected by corrosion. In other published works, the method enables inspectors to obtain information about reinforcing bars, defining depth of rebar, and location of tendon-ducts on bridge decks (Hugenschmidt et al 2010). The reflection coefficient of a thin layer into concrete was evaluated in Van der Wielen et al (2012) in order to estimate the detection limit of the GPR antenna.…”

Preservation and maintenance of transport infrastructure is a global concern that affects social and economic development in all countries. During the last decades, there has been a continuous increase in the use of non-destructive testing (NDT) applied to many aspects related to civil engineering field. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) has become an established method of inspection. This paper presents a compilation of works in the frame of the applications of GPR and other NDT methods in the evaluation of transport infrastructures. Published works in roads and pavements, concrete and masonry structures, and tunnel testing are mentioned. It has been demonstrated that such methods have significantly benefited the procedures for inspection and also, successfully solved some of the limitations of traditional methods.

Abstract. The paper deals with automated monitoring of damage evolution in concrete elements subjected to three-point bending tests. The monitoring is based on the nonlinear interactions of traveling ultrasonic waves with micro-crack zones inside the concrete specimens and surface-breaking cracks. The developed procedure assumes semi-continuous ultrasonic testing during the element full loading cycle and generation of the power spectral density maps for the on-line assessment of the degradation process. Two damage indicators are introduced to evaluate micro-and macro-damage. The preliminary experimental results show that the proposed automated monitoring system provides an effective method for the evaluation of progressive damage in concrete.
