ABSTRACT
Providing a comprehensive overview of the techniques involved in testing concrete in structures, Testing of Concrete in Structures discusses both established techniques and new methods, showing potential for future development, and documenting them with illustrative examples. Topics have been expanded where significant advances have taken place in
1. Planning and Interpretation of In-Situ Testing 2. Surface Hardness Methods 3. Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Methods 4. Partially Destructive Strength Test 5. Cores 6. Load Testing and Monitoring 7. Durability Test 8. Performance and Integrity Tests 9. Chemical Testing and Allied Techniques. Appendix A: Typical Cases of Test Planning and Interpretation of Results. Appendix B: Examples of Pulse Velocity Corrections for Reinforcement. Appendix C: Example of Evaluation of Core Results
