Abstract:
This session is on state-of-the-art guidelines to conducting a visual condition survey of concrete in service. Attendees will learn of the visual condition survey process, distress features of concrete, as well as in which context they manifest: construction-related defects and distress due to improper placement, finishing, and curing practices; design- and service-related distress due to loading, moisture, and temperature conditions; and durability-related distress due to various mechanisms. Presentations of case studies complemented with nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques are also planned.
