Application of acousto-ultrasonic measurements for monitoring of setting and hardening in concrete, applied within Extended Round Robin Testing (RRT+) of COST Action TU1404.

NOVEL METHODS FOR CHARACTERIZATION OF MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES

Conference segment covers innovation and improvement in methods for characterization at material and structural scale. It includes laboratory testing methods and methods for on-site assessment of concrete and masonry civil engineering structures (buildings, bridges, dams, roads, tunnels, reservoirs and other). The segment is dedicated to the following construction materials: concrete, mortar, grouts, cement paste, stone, brick and aggregates.

Contributions to the conference segment may be within – but are not limited to – the following topics:

  • Quantitative characterisation at microstructural level
  • Experimental and numerical methods for characterisation of fresh concrete/mortar/paste/grout
  • Monitoring techniques for quality control during production
  • Monitoring techniques for existing structures
  • Monitoring of age-dependant processes in cement based materials
  • Innovations in experimental techniques for macroscopic characterisation of material properties and performance
  • On-site estimation of material properties in concrete and masonry structures
  • Volumetric visualization techniques for on-site inspection
  • Automated NDT systems
  • Verification of existing laboratory and on-site standard test methods
  • Examples of modern application of NDT methods
