ABSTRACT:
The conduits in the buildings require a regular and permanent
control, in order to avoid the risks of deterioration caused by corrosion. In
this paper we present a thermal nondestructive testing method of concrete
structures containing a conduit system, based on the analysis by infrared
thermography principle and the numerical modeling in three dimensions. The aim
is to study the detectability of these pipes in different situations versus
time and to give a thermal characterization of the rust
behavior in the transitory mode.
