Abstract:

On December 19, 2011, at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) in McLean, VA, the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program convened a 1-day workshop to consider the value of and process for developing a national virtual laboratory for nondestructive evaluation (NDE) for highway structures.

A national virtual laboratory could include test and sample protocols to allow comparison and validation of research done at different locations, research data and metadata to allow future researchers and students to analyze or re-examine results, and analysis and visualization tools to aid in examining and reporting research data.

Previously, FHWA's EAR Program sponsored a National Research Council Associate to conduct a project, "NDE for corrosion detection in reinforced concrete structures incorporating time-resolved thermography combined with three-dimensional (3-D) microwave imaging" at TFHRC's NDE Laboratory. The EAR Program then supported a workshop addressing the use of NDE tools at the Transportation Research Board's 2011 Annual Meeting. The December 19th workshop was held to advance the findings from these efforts regarding an NDE Virtual Laboratory.
