Non-Destructive Testing for Structural Evaluation and Condition Assessment

This webinar aims to showcase the applications of non-destructive testing for evaluation of various structural systems. Moreover, it is designed to show how NDT/NDE can enhance the art and science of structural condition assessment. It will cover topics on:

✔️ Why Non-Destructive Test ?
✔️ Applications of Non-Destructive Testing for Structural Evaluation
✔️ Review of Canadian Case Studies (Bridges, Dams, Power Plants, Mines, Condos, Parking garages, etc).

Different NDT methods are presented and discussed. The objective is to show how engineers can utilize NDT methods for in-place estimating of concrete strength, evaluation of concrete cracks and voids through advanced concrete imaging and scanning. Moreover, we discuss how NDT methods can help study corrosion activity in concrete structures. The following non-destructive testing testing solutions are presented and discussed:

✔️ Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity - UPV
✔️ Rebound Hammer - Schmidt Hammer
✔️ Ultrasonic Tomography
✔️ Ground Penetrating Radar - GPR
✔️ UPV for Crack Depth Measurement
✔️ Half-Cell Corrosion Potential Mapping
✔️ Corrosion Rate Measurement
✔️ Surface Electrical Resistivity Test

Moreover, a few of Canadian Case Studies are presented and discussed: (Bridges, Dams, Power Plants, Mines, Condos, Parking garages, etc).
