Abstract
Non-destructive testing (NDT) to identify reinforced concrete deterioration is an important tool in the management and preservation of the nation’s bridge inventory. Presented is research conducted to better understand multi-modal NDT and its identification of reinforced concrete deterioration. The objectives were to better understand the relationships between the various NDT data, understand damage progression with time, and increase confidence in NDT. Statistical analyses were conducted of multi-modal NDT data collected on 12 bridge decks through the USA. The research identified that the NDT methods utilized are strongly interrelated and can help identify future deterioration.
