Description
The first international symposium on NDT-CE (Non-Destructive Testing in Civil Engineering) was held in Berlin, Germany in 1991. Successive
symposia were held throughout Europe until 1997. This, the 5th symposium is organized as SEIKEN SYMPOSIUM No. 26, and is sponsored by
the Institute of Industrial Science, at the University of Tokyo, Japan.
Original objectives of the NDT-CE symposium have been to provide
an opportunity for discussing current issues and future perspectives of NDT and for promoting mutual understanding among engineers and
researchers.
Asia is one of the key regions for further development in NDT and this symposium in Japan will be a good opportunity
not only to exchange technical information on NDT, but to promote worldwide friendship between engineers in Asian countries and other
nations of the world. This volume contains 70 papers providing the most recent research results and findings. The papers are grouped
under the following areas: (1) keynote papers, (2) magnetic / electric, (3) steel structures, (4) integrated test, (5) moisture, (6)
strength, (7) acoustic emission, (8) various tests, (9) ultrasonic, (10) impact echo, (11) radar, (12) quality and (13) corrosion / cover.
Audience:
For engineers and researchers specialising in the area of Non-Destructive Testing in Civil Engineering.
