1. GENERAL

• Non-destructive testing for civil engineering: classification by measuring principle and application

• Direct testing and non-destructive testing: integration and complementarity

2. STRUCUTRAL DETAILS ASSESSMENT

• Rebar location with traditional covermeters

• 3D Imaging with Ground Penetrating Radar and Shear Wave Ultrasonic Tomography

• Complementary techniques (thermography and borehole inspection)

3 EVALUATION OF CONCRETE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH

• Core drilling and direct compression testing

• Rebound hammer testing

• Ultrasonic pulse velocity and Sonreb method

• Complementary techniques (extraction test and penetration test)

• Calibration curves between compressive strength and NDT parameters

4. EVALUATION OF DEFECTS AND WEATHERING OF REINFORCED CONCRETE

• Durability and corrosion analysis with half-cell potential and electrical resistivity methodologies

• Cracks, voids, grouting defects with traditional Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity measurement and Shear Wave Ultrasonic Tomography
