Abstract

This research represents the application of active microwave thermography (AMT) to evaluate the propagation of defects in CFRP-strengthened concrete structures. In this paper, thermographic images of a CFRP-concrete joint tested under direct shear are analyzed to monitor and evaluate the propagation of an artificial defect created between a concrete block and an attached CFRP composite strip. This technique can be used by civil engineering researchers to study the propagation of defects during active loading and the effect on structural properties.
