Infrared Thermography for Detecting Defects In Concrete Structures
| 2021:762 | Dimitrios Boubitsas, Lars Olsson and Fredrik Ståhl
Infrared thermography is a timesaving non-destructive test method. It has gained a lot of popularity in recent years and has a wide application area. This work assesses the possibility of using infrared thermography to detect cracking in concrete tunnels for cooling water found in nuclear power plants.
This study concludes that the possibility to detect temperature differences caused by cracks in the concrete wall of a nuclear powerplant cooling waterway probably is small under realistic conditions.
