Abstract:

The primary focus of our research is to address the challenge of evaluating aging concrete bridges, both reinforced and prestressed, located in New England. We have developed a remote radar sensor capable of characterizing corroded reinforced concrete structures, as well as a predictive capability to generate artificial cracks and simulate radar images. Two types of EM sensors are used in this research; ground penetrating radar (GPR) and synthetic aperture radar (SAR).
