Click here to purchase


Written by internationally recognized researchers and experts in the field, V. Mohan Malhotra and Nicholas J. Carino, this new edition provides the most comprehensive, up-to-date information available on nondestructive testing (NDT) methods used to evaluate concrete structures. It gives you a comprehensive understanding of the tools and techniques used to estimate the in-place strength of concrete and permeation properties that relate to potential durability, and also describes methods used to assess the internal condition of concrete and corrosion activity of steel reinforcement.

Sixteen comprehensive chapters cover:

Surface Hardness Methods

Penetration Resistance Methods

Pullout Test Method

Break-Off Test Method

Maturity Method

Pull-Off Test and Permeation Tests

Resonant Frequency Methods

Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Method

Combined Methods

Magnetic/Electrical Methods

Methods to Evaluate Corrosion of Reinforcement

Radioactive/ Nuclear Methods

Short-Pulse Radar Methods

Stress Wave Propagation Methods

Infrared Thermographic Techniques

Acoustic Emission Methods

This handbook meets the growing needs of practicing engineers engaged in quality control or investigations of hardened concrete and concrete technologists who evaluate concrete structures. It also serves as a comprehensive reference for graduate students in concrete technology.
