Nondestructive Evaluation and Repair of Concrete Masonry Unit Walls
Nondestructive testing methods (NDT), including impact-echo techniques, were used to evaluate the quality and integrity of grout in concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls where concerns arose during construction. The testing identified areas of debonding and voids, which were successfully repaired using low-viscosity epoxy injection, restoring the structural integrity of the walls.
