Visual inspection is the commonly used method for bridge deck inspection. However, this method depends on the intuition of the inspector and his experience. The deteriorated condition of the nation's infrastructure requires better techniques for evaluation. Nondestructive evaluation can verify the integrity of a structure or any of its components without compromising its ability to perform in service. Several nondestructive techniques are implemented on concrete bridge decks evaluation. However, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is one of the promising methods in this area. Radar scans are collected and transferred into images where information about the subsurface can be extracted. This paper discusses the basis of GPR along with the advantages and disadvantages of the method In addition, a case study of a bridge deck with asphalt overlay will be presented
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
