Abstract
The joint treatment of concrete is one of the technical problems in concrete constructions. Joints created with concrete constructions result in serious weakness in the aspects of both structural and water-barrier function. The radar and the infrared thermography method have been used for the non-destructive inspection of several construction joints of concrete structures in this study. The advantages and limitations of these methods are investigated for non-destructive inspection on construction joints of concrete columns. It can be shown that the detecting precision of construction joints using these methods is improved if radar analysis is carried out with a simulation analysis. In case of the infrared thermography method, the shape of construction joints can be also detected when heating is performed before testing. As the result, it has been verified that the construction joints, difficult to be detected by visual inspection, could be inspected effectively in broad areas at short period of time when these two methods are applied.
