Maintenance and Diagnostics
Regular inspections should be carried out methodically at regular intervals to detect the defects [3]. The instruments can be used extensively to diagnose the defects and to take the action to keep the structure in good condition. The following high-tech instruments and techniques can be used to diagnose cracks in concrete structures.
Diagnostics of Defect
Thermography
Thermography can be used to identify the position of water leakages. The method is based on the characteristics of heat flow phenomenon, in a conductive medium of specific geometry, which is intended to model predetermined boundary conditions. Thermo tracer is a advanced equipment used in thermography technology.
