State-of-the-Art Facility for Non-destructive Testing of Concrete Infrastructure (N-DETECT)

用于混凝土基础设施无损检测的最先进设备：最近世界上有许多老化的混凝土基础设施导致灾难性故障，造成生命损失和基础设施严重损坏的例子。无损检测（NDT）为准确评估结构状况提供了可靠的方法。然而，无损检测需要通过系统的研究项目了解各种可用的方法，以及它们的能力和局限性。由于设施缺乏，澳大利亚和海外在这方面的研究很少。这种最先进的测试设备将为澳大利亚的机构提供一个尖端的设施，便携式设备用于无损检测相关的研究。

State-of-the-art facility for non-destructive testing of concrete infrastructure: There are many recent examples around the world where ageing concrete infrastructure has led to catastrophic failures with loss of life and severe damage to infrastructure. Non destructive testing (NDT) gives a reliable method to provide an accurate assessment of the condition of a structure. However NDT requires an understanding of the various methods available, and their capabilities and limitations, through systematic research projects. Very little research has been done in Australia and overseas in this area due to lack of facilities. This state-of-the-art testing equipment will provide Australian institutions with a cutting edge facility with portable equipment for NDT related research.
