Concrete
floors should be diagnosed in order to obtain the proper durability.
Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, which have numerous advantages
and are very effective for in situ testing, are recommended for this purpose. Non-Destructive Diagnostics of Concrete Floors: Methods and Case Studies offers
useful NDT methods, test methodologies, and case studies. This book
contains classifications of NDT methods, examines their areas of
usefulness in floor diagnostics, and explains the complementarity and
reliability of NDT methods as well as the need to calibrate research
equipment. It presents interesting case studies of concrete floors, such
as dowelled floors, floors with a top layer made of stone slabs,
industrial floors, industrial floors with a top layer of
polyurethane-cement, layered floors, post-tensioned floors, and cement
screeds. The authors have drawn on many years of experience in both
academia and the practical diagnosis of concrete floors using NDT
methods.
