Beschreibung
Nondestructive Testing involves the use of methods such as wavepropagation, electromagnetism, electrical conductivity, and thermalconductivity to test structural integrity and thereby allownondestructive assessment of structures and the possibility ofstructural failures before they occur.
Nondestructive Testing of Deep Foundations coversdifferent techniques designed to provide information about theintegrity and quality of the material that makes up a deepfoundation.
Nondestructive Testing methods are used at all stages of astructure's life - from new construction quality control toresidual lifetime prediction, and even during the monitoring ofdemolition. In addition, Nondestructive Testing is beingincreasingly specified in deep foundation projects, though oftenwithout a good understanding of its limitations and with the resultthat methods are often misused. In order to be able to specify anappropriate method, or to recognize an inappropriate specification,it is necessary for the engineer, specifier and/or contractor tounderstand the capabilities and limitations of each of the methodscurrently in use.
Nondestructive Testing of DeepFoundations:
* Describes the most commonly used deep foundation constructiontechniques, including typical use of material
* Provides a brief history of the development of commerciallyavailable nondestructive methods
* Summarises each method's capabilities and limitations
* Acts as a one stop reference drawing together resources onlypreviously available in conference proceedings and journalpapers
This manual will prove to be a welcome addition to the bookshelfof all practitioners in civil/structural and geotechnicalengineering and architecture. It will also provide a valuableinsight into this highly technical field for universityresearchers, lecturers and postgraduate students incivil/structural and geotechnical engineering.
