Concrete structure is one of the common construction materials in the world. The reliability in terms of performance, durability and cost effective are the major advantages in utilising concrete as construction material. However, due to time and workmanship, concrete is prone to deterioration. In this study, three main beam size of 400 mm x 1200 mm in size is evaluated in terms of structure integrity using Non-Destructive Test. Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) is adapted to determine the concrete quality. For durability aspects, the utilisation of X Ray Fluorescence (XRF) with rapid carbonation kit is adapted. From this finding, one of the beams inspected is detected with poor quality. This is supported by visual for crack detection and voids in all beam. Elementary for concrete quality for all beams is confirmed using XRF and supported with carbonation kit. In conclusion, the outcome from NDT proves to determine any structure failure and factors contribute to the problem. Furthermore, the solutions to the problem can be identified.
