A Combined Electromagnetic Induction and Radar-Based Test for Quality Control of Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete
In this paper, the authors made an attempt to detect the fibre content and fibre spacing in a steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) industrial floor. Two non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, an electromagnetic induction technique and a radar-based technique, were applied. The first method allowed...
