This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study developed inspection guidelines to assist bridge owners in selecting the most appropriate nondestructive evaluation (NDE) method for assessing the condition of in-service post-tensioning and stay cable systems. These inspection guidelines describe NDE methods for different condition assessment including corrosion, section loss, breakage, grout conditions, voids, water infiltration, and tendon deterioration in the anchorage systems. The NDE methods are ground penetrating radar, infrared thermography, electrical capacitance tomography, magnetic flux leakage, magnetic main flux method, impact echo, ultrasonic tomography, ultrasonic echo, sonic/ultrasonic pulse velocity, low frequency ultrasound, sounding, visual testing, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The material in this report will be of immediate interest to bridge owners and inspectors". -- https://trid.trb.org/view.aspx?id=1466278.
