... 34 C h a p t e r 5 High-speed NDT technologies such as ground-penetrating radar, infrared thermography, and impact echo scanning have been increasingly used in recent years for bridge deck condition assessment. Still, these technologies have not been widely adapted or accepted for two main reasons: (1)
