Non Destructive Testing in Civil Engineering 2000



One of the original objectives of the NDT-CE (Non-Destructive Testing in Civil Engineering) symposium is to provide an opportunity for discussing current issues and future perspectives of NDT and for promoting mutual understanding among engineers and researchers. This

symposium is organized as SEIKEN SYMPOSIUM No. 26, sponsored by Institute of Industrial Science, University of Tokyo.

The idea of holding a symposium for exchanging information and views on NDT was realized in 1991, and the first international symposium on NDT-CE was held in Berlin, Germany in

1991. With that as a start, four symposiums were organized; the second in Liverpool, UK in 1993, the third in Berlin, Germany in 1995 and the fourth in Liverpool, UK in 1997. Following

these symposiums hosted by European countries, the fifth symposium will be held in Tokyo, Japan.

Asia is one of the key regions for further developments of NDT. The symposium in Japan will

be a good opportunity not only to exchange technical information on NDT, but to promote worldwide friendship between engineers in the Asian countries and other nations of the world.

This volume contains 70 papers including 5 keynote papers from the worldwide range of 20

countries. They provide the most recent research results and findings. The papers are grouped under the following areas: 1) keynote papers, 2) magnetic/electric, 3) steel structures, 4)

integrated test, 5) moisture, 6) strength, 7) acoustic emission, 8) various tests, 9) ultrasonic, 10) impact echo, 11) radar, 12) quality and 13) corrosionhover. The writing format of the paper

varies from author to author, because the proceedings were produced by offset printing from the manuscripts provided by the authors. However we believe that the authors are able to get their message across to the readers.
