One of the most relied upon infrastructure components are the thousands of bridges that are essential to everyday life. A common structural component among all bridges is the reinforced concrete bridge deck. Internal air pockets and voids can develop over time with no knowledge of their existence. Among the available condition assessments for bridge decks is a technique noted as impact-echo (IE), a common non-destructive evaluation (NDE) system. This method utilizes mechanical waves to develop information about the subsurface conditions.http://hdl.handle.net/2047/d20001234
