     A thorough presentation of this innovative, proven method for the non-destructive investigation of the integrity of concrete structures by the engineers who invented and developed the process. The text, using necessary equations, presents in detail the theory behind this new method of structural testing. Examples of applied evaluations include delaminations, cracks, unconsolidated concrete, layered structures (including asphalt-covered), bonding, post-tensioned tendons, mine shaft and tunnel liners, and integrity of masonry structures. Suitable for use as a college level text.
