Practical Guide

Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) is a popular non-destructive testing (NDT) method. MPI helps to detect surface and subsurface faults and discontinuities in ferromagnetic metals and their alloys

Non-destructive tests (NDT) are test methods which are used to examine the hardened concrete structure for their suitability for its intended use without interfering in any way with the integrity o

A measuring tape also known as a tape measure is a versatile tool used to measure length. The tape is manufactured with fiberglass, cotton, plastic, and metal ribbon or strip material. It is possib

Measurement of steel reinforcement corrosion in concrete is essential to analyze the strength and durability of a structure. Not only does the steel corrosion reduce the life span of the structure

The water absorption test determines the water absorption rate (sorptivity) of both the outer and inner concrete surfaces. The test involves the measurement of the increase of mass of concrete samp

Measurement of concrete works is one of the most crucial tasks at any construction site. It should be conducted rigorously and very carefully as the measurements hold a very important place in the

A Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a non-destructive technique used for investigating the characteristics of the subsurface. It is a real-time NDT instrument that employs high-frequency radio wave

Monitoring early strength gain of concrete in the field is crucial task for the success of some construction works like starting critical shoring and reshoring steps which is required during multi-

Lime concrete is a composite mixture of lime as binding material, sand as fine aggregate, and gravel as coarse aggregate in appropriate proportions. Lime concrete mix ratio depends on the type of c

The construction/engineering sector is identified as the most corrupt sector in the world. Malpractices like extortion, bribery, and fraud in construction projects can have a damaging effect on the
