Analysis of infrared thermography in construction
Answers
Infrared thermography has applications in assessment of properties of building materials and structures in civil engineering and construction.
In the civil engineering construction field, it is not only necessary to built up structures as per plan, but also to be sure that with age the building is performing the same as estimated. For this, building assessment is a necessary factor.
In this generation, equal importance is given for both building construction study as well as building evaluation studies. This has lead to much sophisticated, but accurate methods to evaluate the present structural condition of the building, to save it for the future.
Infrared Thermography is such a great innovation which help in the investigation of what condition the building is in and guide in damage fixing. This method is a kind of non-destructive method which evaluates without any contact. They have a huge demand to carry out rapid investigations. But its prominence in building investigation is still growing.
One of the main application of infrared thermography in the civil engineering is depended on the construction thermography. As the results are based on the emission properties of the materials, a good assessment of that area has to be performed.
(1) Determination of Moisture Penetration.
(2) Plumbing Assessment.
(3) Determination of Fresh and hardened stages of Concrete.
(4) Accurate Tension Test of Rebar.
(5) The determination and location of voids in concrete
