Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) Roadmap Concrete: Implementation

Current practice for infrastructure inspection involves predominantly visual inspection for surface defects and use of tactile methods such as sounding with a hammer or chain for subsurface delamination. While more sophisticated nondestructive evaluation (NDE) tools offer powerful alternatives to current practice, their effective implementation and deployment demand multi-disciplinary teams to integrate technology-specific expertise with sound structural engineering heuristics.
