Evaluation of delaminations in concrete bridge decks using a fully automated Impact-echo testing tool
Robotics-Assisted Bridge Inpection Tool (RABITTM) combines a capability of conventional non-destructive evaluation techniques for condition assessment of concrete bridge decks, including electrical resistivity (ER), ground-penetrating radar (GPR), impact-echo (IE), ultrasonic surface waves (USW), and a high resolution digital camera. In this study, the RABITTM platform was used to evaluate delaminaitons in a concrete bridge deck fabricated in the laboratory.
