New nondestructive testing technologies are available to help transportation agencies inspect concrete bridge decks or tunnel linings more quickly and comprehensively. Information about Nondestructive Testing for Concrete Bridge Decks and Tunnel Linings (R06 A/G) is now available on the SHRP2 website.
The Nondestructive Testing for Concrete Bridge Decks and Tunnel Linings web page features everything from PowerPoint presentations and research reports to a tool selection matrix and fact sheets. The website also provides information about the Implementation Assistance Program, as well as links to helpful resources, such as the Nondestructive Evaluation Web Manual and the NDT Toolbox, a web-based evaluation tool used to select appropriate NDT technologies for specific applications.
Nondestructive Testing for Concrete Bridge Decks and Tunnel Linings was developed through the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2). The suite of tools includes a number of geophysical, mobile-scanning, and hand-held technologies that help to define the actual extent of deterioration—beyond what can be seen—for improved repairs and real-time solutions. As a result, these tools can save transportation agencies time and money. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation will host a product showcase on Nondestructive Testing for Tunnel Linings (R06G) on Sept. 14, 2016 in Pittsburg, Pa.
