Non-Intrusive Testing of Concrete and Masonry
Add to calRoom 3Z015, University of West of England
Talk Summary:
The maintenance of buildings and infrastructure relies heavily on a well-defined asset management strategy; to inform this, multiple stages of inspection and assessment are required. Often the first stages are purely visual, but often more insight is required, and this is gained using various non-intrusive (or 'semi-intrusive') investigation techniques. This talk will comprise a whistle-stop tour of the tools that I frequently use in my role as a Materials Engineer, with some asides covering various deterioration mechanism in buildings and structures.
Graham Griffiths is a Senior Materials Engineer at Mott MacDonald and has recently achieved Chartership through the loM3. He has 10+ years industry experience in consulting, materials-supply, and heritage (following a brief stint in academia after his PhD). He is a firm believer in the ethos of 'durability = sustainability' and this factors in a whole suite of construction, maintenance, and repair best practices
