Items related to Handbook on Nondestructive Testing of Concrete
Synopsis
Written by internationally recognized researchers and experts in the field, V. Mohan Malhotra and Nicholas J. Carino, this new edition provides the most comprehensive, up-to-date information available on nondestructive testing (NDT) methods used to evaluate concrete structures. It gives you a comprehensive understanding of the tools and techniques used to estimate the in-place strength of concrete and permeation properties that relate to potential durability, and also describes methods used to assess the internal condition of concrete and corrosion activity of steel reinforcement.
Sixteen comprehensive chapters cover:
• Surface Hardness Methods
• Penetration Resistance Methods
• Pullout Test Method
• Break-Off Test Method
• Maturity Method
• Pull-Off Test and Permeation Tests
• Resonant Frequency Methods
• Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Method
• Combined Methods
• Magnetic/Electrical Methods
• Methods to Evaluate Corrosion of Reinforcement
• Radioactive/ Nuclear Methods
• Short-Pulse Radar Methods
• Stress Wave Propagation Methods
• Infrared Thermographic Techniques
• Acoustic Emission Methods
This handbook meets the growing needs of practicing engineers engaged in quality control or investigations of hardened concrete and concrete technologists who evaluate concrete structures. It also serves as a comprehensive reference for graduate students in concrete technology.

Review
"The handbook is chock-full of high quality graphics, figures and photographs. Although the book is aimed at practicing engineers with responsibilities of concrete quality control or investigations of hardened concrete, graduate students will find the book an excellent overview of both popular and lesser-known non-destructive testing techniques. Strongly recommended for civil engineers, builders, and academic library collections supporting civil engineering curricula at the university level." -E-Streams, Vol. 8, No. 1, Jan. 2005
