Assessment of the decay extent for reinforced concrete elements by using non-destructive methods

Costel Chingălată, Valeria Enache

Abstract


The need to investigate reinforced concrete buildings by using non-destructive methods is a topical issue in the field of construction. This paper presents the most representative non-destructive methods that are applied in the investigation of the reinforced concrete elements / structures, in order to identify the decay extent. The first part of the paper presents and classifies, according to their origin, the main factors leading to the degradation of the concrete elements. In the second part, four investigation methods are described, that are most frequently used for identifying and quantifying the damages of reinforced concrete elements.
