How to inspect and analyze the damage:

a. Visual inspection

b. Tapping and sounding

.

c. Infrared scanning

d. Metal detection

e. Laboratory analysis

Find the cause of the problem!

Besides the above, the review of the history of

the structure, the available drawings and

documentation is most important. The time spent

on research has been invaluable in successful

projects. The study of construction documents

will reveal some causes of existing failures. Bear

in mind that often the actual installation does not
