Corrosion of reinforcing bars is a dominant cause of degradation of reinforced concrete (RC)
structures. Over time, expansive products of corrosion build up tensile stresses within the …

The ability to detect defects in rail, and in particular surface defects such as gauge corner
cracking, is essential. Current ultrasonic testing of the rail uses contacting transducers in a …

Surface opening cracks are common defects in large civil structures like bridges. They allow
penetration of water or other agents that result in loss of durability earlier than expected …

This paper presents an ultrasonic method, based on the nonlinear acoustic mixing of coda
waves with lower-frequency swept pump waves, for providing an efficient global detection of …

This paper proposes the use of nonlinear Rayleigh wave to inspect debonding in carbon
fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) retrofitted reinforced concrete structures. The proposed …

The determination of the depth of surface-breaking cracks in concrete specimens using an
ultrasound diffusion technique is discussed. Experiments were carried out on precracked …
