Abstract | The assessment of ageing concrete structures is a major technical challenge faced by the Civil Engineers of today. Concrete bridges are exposed to corrosion from the spreading of de-icing salts on roads during winter. Corrosion is problematic because it reduces the reinforcement's load carrying capacity and a long-term consequence can be structural failure. This paper describes an experiment that consisted in exposing a concrete specimen to a controlled wetting-drying cycle using a saline solution. This setup enabled the concentration of chlorides to be distributed in gradients inside the specimen. A novel methodology to estimate material properties, based on ground penetrating radar (GPR) full-waveform inversion, was used to process GPR traces. In this paper, each reflection present in the trace was regarded independently. This procedure was applied to a dataset acquired with bistatic off-ground GPR antennas. Measurements were carried out above the test specimen at regular time lapses. This allowed monitoring of the electromagnetic parameters of the top and bottom concrete specimen surfaces during the wetting-drying cycle. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
