Non-destructive testing and continuous monitoring: Modern tools for performance assessment and life time prognosis of structures

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The sustainability of structures in civil engineering is becoming a more and more important issue. Related to this are problems to assess the structural condition, to measure the performance and to determine the residual lifetime of structures or structural components. Techniques concerning Non Destructive Testing (NDT) and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) can be valuable to support the engineer during the construction of a new buildings or the maintenance of existing infrastructure and to help making them more sustainable. This requires a comprehensive concept to implement these techniques in existing construction and maintenance plans.
