WEMMA Presents: Non-Intrusive Testing of Concrete and Masonry
Join us for an exciting event at the University of the West of England where we will delve into the world of non-intrusive testing for concrete and masonry. Learn from experts in the field and gain valuable insights into the latest techniques and technologies. Don't miss this opportunity to expand your knowledge and network with like-minded professionals. See you there!
Key Details:
Room 3Z015, networking starting at 7:30pm, with the event to start promptly at 8pm.
Talk Summary:
The maintenance of buildings and infrastructure relies heavily on a well-defined asset management strategy; to inform this, multiple stages of inspection and assessment are required. Often the first stages are purely visual, but often more insight is required, and this is gained using various non-intrusive (or ‘semi-intrusive’) investigation techniques. This talk will comprise a whistle-stop tour of the tools that I frequently use in my role as a Materials Engineer, with some asides covering various deterioration mechanism in buildings and structures.
