Quality Control and NDT

Quality Assurance in NDT

The importance of Nondestructive Testing (NDT) as a Quality Control/ Quality Assurance tool in the industrial domain cannot be over-emphasized. With the rapid advancement in research and technology, the NDT field is becoming larger and more sophisticated day by day. Innovative research in materials science and digital technology is paving the way for more and more new methods in NDT technology....

Confinement Characteristics of Rectangular FRP-Jacketed RC Columns

In this study, FRP jackets were investigated for their confinement effectiveness on rectangular RC columns. Thirteen reduced-scale short columns were tested to failure in axial compression. Variables investigated include: the type of fibers (AFRP, CFRP or GFRP), the thickness of the jacket, the aspect ratio of the rectangular cross section and the radii of the corners. For square columns, GFRP ...
