The safety, maintenance and repair of bridges and buildings depends on effective inspection and monitoring techniques. These methods must identify problems, often hidden within structures, before they become serious. This important book reviews key techniques and their applications to bridges, buildings and other civil structures. Chapters review ways of testing corrosion in concrete components, describe methods of testing wood components within civil structures given their continuing importance and vulnerability to decay, present techniques used for concrete, masonry, timber and steel components, and discuss visual and acoustic techniques and their use to assess bridges. Inspection and Monitoring Techniques for Bridges and Civil Structures will be an invaluable reference for graduate level courses as well as for civil engineers involved in safety inspection and the maintenance and repair of bridges and civil structures.
