An objective view of the relative advantages and limitations of the nondestructive testing and evaluation methods that are currently used in the inspection of bridge decks is presented and discussed. The three main nondestructive testing technologies that were evaluated are impact-echo, ground penetrating radar, and infrared thermography. Nondestructive testing and evaluation procedures, including methodology and equipment to evaluate concrete bridge decks with asphalt overlays, are also presented and discussed. Current results indicate that a combination of ground penetrating radar and infrared thermography would provide the best methodology for evaluating the structural integrity, e.g., delaminations, of concrete bridge decks with overlays. Furthermore, current results also indicate that the impact-echo method shows promising future development towards the nondestructive evaluation of bridge superstructures.
