Review of nondestructive evaluation techniques of civil infrastructure
Article Abstract:
It is argued that the paper 'Review of nondestructive evaluation techniques of civil infrastructure' by Rens et al (1997) is inappropriately titled because it does not accurately reflect the content. It is contended that the authors have a limited conceptualization of 'civil infrastructure,' made few references to nondestructive testing of the general concrete infrastructure, and failed to address the whole family of stress-wave nondestructive testing methods. Rens et al respond.
