A Plan for Developing High-Speed, Nondestructive Testing Procedures for Both Design Evaluation and Construction Inspection
Posted September 11, 2009
SHRP 2 Research Report S2-R06-RW: A Plan for Developing High-Speed, Nondestructive Testing Procedures for Both Design Evaluation and Construction Inspection examines existing and emerging nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technologies and their current state of implementation to satisfy the NDE needs for highway renewal. The report also explores a research plan for the development of NDE technologies to address the most pertinent needs for bridges, pavements, tunnels, soils, and retaining walls through the life of the facility. Report S2-R06-RW is only available in electronic format.

Presentations from the 2nd International NDT Symposium
Ljubljana, April 2008
Posted May 13, 2008
The second International Symposium on Non-Destructive Testing for Design
Evaluation and Construction Inspection was held on April 25, 2008 in
Ljubljana, Slovenia during TRA 2008. This was the second symposium
organized in collaboration with the Forum of European National Highway
Research Laboratories (FEHRL).
A summary of the symposium and the presentations are now available.
Presentations from the 1st International NDT Symposium
Washington, January 2008
Posted February 7, 2008
The first International Symposium on Non-Destructive Testing for Design
Evaluation and Construction Inspection held January 18, 2008 in
Washington, DC, drew more than 140 members of the international highway
renewal community. This was the first of two symposia organized in
collaboration with the Forum of European National Highway Research
Laboratories (FEHRL).
A summary of the symposium and the presentations are now available.

Video: Field Validation Tests of Nondestructive Testing Technologies on a Concrete Bridge Deck
Posted July 12, 2011
In October and November of 2010, 20 nondestructive testing (NDT)
technologies were evaluated during tests on a concrete bridge deck in
Haymarket, Virginia, as part of a SHRP 2 research project. This research
project is being conducted by Rutgers University with the University of
Texas at El Paso and the German Federal Institute for Materials
Research and Testing. Teams from industry and academia demonstrated how
their NDT technologies —such as ground-penetrating radar, impact echo,
and infrared thermography—can be used to detect deterioration in
concrete bridge decks. Video segments of the tests are included on the
following page.
Demonstration: Infrared Bar for QC/QA, conducted as part of Renewal research project R06C: Using Both Infrared and High-Speed Ground Penetrating Radar for Uniformity Measurement on New Hot Mix Asphalt Layers
Posted November 19, 2009
This video shows a demonstration of an infrared bar being used for quality control and measurement of new hot mix asphalt layers during paving operations. This demonstration was part of Renewal Project R06C: Using Both Infrared and High-Speed Ground Penetrating Radar for Uniformity Measurement on New Hot Mix Asphalt Layers. This project is demonstrating these technologies to assess hot mix asphalt density and segregation in the four AASHTO regions, and will recommend how these technologies can be incorporated into existing department of transportation specifications for construction quality assurance.
