It is believed that this paper will be of particular interest to bridge engineers and structural engineering practitioners with enthusiasm for adopting non-destructive testing methods such as GPR in the health monitoring and assessment of bridge structures.
Moreover, bridge engineers should seek better social status and the bridge engineering field should become attractive to young students who will bear the future of this field.
Bridge engineers call them "red flags": structural deficiencies that can threaten public safety.
Having given seminars to many state bridge engineers, I am aware of the political pressures they face to control costs.
Or it was strictly the bridge engineers' (Foster and Partners remain keen to redirect press enquiries to Ove Arup).
For these reasons, bridge engineers always prefer more to use the ground penetrating radar (GPR) technique.
Since the 1960s, Congress has increased the allowable size and weight of trucks that traverse and damage our bridges, despite the protests of bridge engineers.
The instability of precast prestressed concrete bridge girders during construction have been of particular concern to bridge engineers.
The label is not meant to indicate imminent danger, which bridge engineers said would result in a bridge being shut down.
