Book Description
This book was proposed and organized as a means to present recent developments in the field of nondestructive testing of materials in civil engineering. For this reason, the articles highlighted in this editorial relate to different aspects of nondestructive testing of different materials in civil engineering—from building materials to building structures. The current trend in the development of nondestructive testing of materials in civil engineering is mainly concerned with the detection of flaws and defects in concrete elements and structures, and acoustic methods predominate in this field. As in medicine, the trend is towards designing test equipment that allows one to obtain a picture of the inside of the tested element and materials. From this point of view, interesting results with significance for building practices have been obtained

Book Description
Rebound Hammer Test and Non Destructive Testing (NDT) of Concrete are essential techniques used in the assessment of the quality, durability, and structural integrity of concrete structures. This book provides a guide to the principles, applications, and techniques involved in these methods. The ndt test for concrete book starts by introducing the basic properties of concrete, its construction process, and the reasons why testing is crucial. It then delves into the various methods of NDT, including Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity, Ground Penetrating Radar, and Impact Echo, among others. The focus of the book, however, is on the Rebound Hammer Test, which is one of the most widely used NDT methods for concrete. The rebound hammer test book discusses the theory behind the Rebound Hammer Test, how it works, and the factors that affect its accuracy. It provides detailed guidance on how to perform the test correctly and interpret the results. The book also covers the limitations of the test and its potential sources of error. In addition to the technical aspects of the Rebound Hammer Test and NDT, the book also covers the practical applications of these methods. It discusses how these techniques can be used to assess the quality and durability of concrete structures, identify defects and damage, and plan maintenance and repair activities. The NDT book includes a glossary of key terms and concepts, as well as a comprehensive set of frequently asked questions to help readers understand the material better. Overall, this book is an essential resource for engineers, technicians, and researchers working in the field of concrete construction and maintenance. It provides a thorough understanding of the Rebound Hammer Test and NDT, including the practical applications and limitations of these methods.

Book Description
Condition assessment and characterization of materials and structures by means of nondestructive testing (NDT) methods is a priority need around the world to meet the challenges associated with the durability, maintenance, rehabilitation, retrofitting, renewal and health monitoring of new and existing infrastructures including historic monuments. Numerous NDT methods that make use of certain components of the electromagnetic and acoustic spectrum are currently in use to this effect with various levels of success and there is an intensive worldwide research effort aimed at improving the existing methods and developing new ones. The knowledge and information compiled in this book captures the current state of the art in NDT methods and their application to civil and other engineering materials and structures. Critical reviews and advanced interdisciplinary discussions by world-renowned researchers point to the capabilities and limitations of the currently used NDT methods and shed light on current and future research directions to overcome the challenges in their development and practical use. In this respect, the contents of this book will equally benefit practicing engineers and researchers who take part in characterization, assessment and health monitoring of materials and structures.
