Rapid Detection of Fatigue Cracking in Steel Anchor Rods Using the Impulse Response Method
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) Program has released Report 175: Rapid Detection of Fatigue Cracking in Steel Anchor Rods Using the Impulse Response Method. The report explores the development of a rapid screening nondestructive test procedure utilizing stress wave interrogation that could detect fatigue cracks in steel anchor rods with greater reliability than a visual inspection. The report documents an experimental evaluation of the proposed method for fatigue crack detection.
