Summary
A technical foundation for evaluating the integrity, durability, and strength of hardened concrete. The text outlines a systematic approach to investigation, beginning with visual inspections and advancing to specialized non-destructive or partially-destructive methods. It details various diagnostic tools, such as ultrasonic pulse velocity and core sampling, while emphasizing the importance of understanding in-situ variability caused by construction practices. The authors provide guidance on test selection and planning to ensure results are both accurate and cost-effective for engineering assessments. Furthermore, the material explains how to interpret data to judge specification compliance and structural safety in existing buildings. Extensive tables and figures illustrate the relative merits of different testing techniques and their typical applications in the field.
