Abstract:This report presents the findings of a research project on using ultrasonic testing to
continuously monitor reinforced concrete bridge decks for the onset of delamination. The
report first presents a review of current nondestructive testing techniques used in practice and
research, and deficiencies of these methods. Then the novel method developed in this project
to identify early delamination in reinforced concrete bridge decks is presented. This method
uses a unique sensor setup compared to current ultrasonic testing methods and utilizes the
waves leaked into the concrete from the rebar that is excited with ultrasonic waves.
