Concrete Defects 5

[dik]

Is there a standard that quantifies defects? For example, is there a publication that defines what a 'bug hole' is? or the distinction between bugholes and segregation or honeycombing? or for that matter, what constitutes honeycombing/segregation?

If we are suggesting experts to evaluate concrete defects, CTL is the one we generally use.

If you are looking for the depth and extent of the voids, ground penetrating radar can be used from one side to determine the depth from the surface and area covered by voids. You'll need one of the smaller hand-held units for a wall and you'll have to be somewhat selective on your grid depending on the amount of reinforcing steel.
