Inspection of Flexible Filler Tendons

The objective of this research project is to evaluate existing and new methods and research that has been completed for tendon inspection and determine the applicability and practicality for flexible filled tendons. The methods evaluated will include visual inspections and basic to more complex nondestructive evaluation techniques. Overall, this research will determine implementable tools for the inspection of bridges with flexible filled tendons.
