Non-destructive techniques for the evaluation of structures and infrastructure

Non-destructive technologies have gained popularity in recent years related to the tasks involving characterization and diagnosis of constructions. The application of geomatics in construction engineering arises from the necessity of using real geometry in several phases of the construction and evaluation processes. This book provides an overview and up-to-date synthesis of the previously mentioned techniques to the field of civil engineering and includes topics relating to infrastructure and structures. Literature devoted to theory, basic fundamentals, and applications of these technologies has been compiled to show the potential of such methods
