Nondestructive Evaluation of Civil Infrastructure

3 Credits

This course provides students’ knowledge and experience to evaluate existing civil infrastructure. The course covers nondestructive and geophysical methods and their engineering related applications, including (i) the principles of elastic waves and associated computational method; (ii) the fundamentals on inverse theory and signal processing; (iii) inversion methods; and (iv) real-world applications. Applications include geotechnical site characterization and evaluation of concrete components.
