Ruptures of prestressing cables

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Non-Destructive Assessment of Concrete Structures: Reliability and Limits of Single and Combined Techniques

Part of the book series: RILEM State of the Art Reports ((RILEM State Art Reports,volume 1))

Abstract

The structures involved are prestressed concrete structures. The aim is to detect either failures of prestressing cables (or strands) or as a preventive measure to detect corrosion or damages before failure.

Johannes Hugenschmidt and Denys Breysse have also contributed to this section.
