Development of a Low-Cost Conductive Measurement Technique to Augment Objective Methods for Damage Detection in Concrete Pavements

Detection of degradation has the potential to improve the long-term performance and integrity of highway pavements. The ongoing challenge in non-destructive evaluation techniques is to efficiently identify degradation prior to a visible impact on performance. The objective of this research is to leverage the two approaches of conductive sensing and easily deployable imaging techniques to allow for identification of distress in a timely and efficient manner. The project will develop guidelines for using a conductive sensor pattern for damage location. Once the location is broadly identified, ultrasonic array technology could be used for a detailed analysis of the area of interest.
