Abstract: Non-destructive testing methods are increasingly popular not only for assessing the physical properties of materials in bridges but also to establish physical conditions and the extent of deterioration of structural members and systems. The specific application, and sometimes the name of a specific test, vary for different materials. References are provided for each type of test. The tests are classified as follows:- a) methods for determining physical conditions and properties of steel; b) methods for determining chemical and physical properties of concrete; c) methods for determining physical conditions of concrete; and d) methods for determining the physical conditions of reinforcing steel, pre-tensioning steel, and post tensioning steel. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 858602.
