Deterioration of health of bridges is a growing concern among civil engineers. Adoption ofa feasible and reliable method for structural health mon itoring of conerete bridge deck is of paramount importance. The proposed paper discussed a ease study of structural health assessment ofa concrete bridge deck. est data, The test method. involves generation of mechanical waves by using piczo-magnetially excited based on signal processing of measured Pulse Echo clement. Pulse echo tests data for both the A-scans and B-scans were collected rovides the input velocity for subse {quent B-scan, which provides the cross-sectional characteristics of the deck af ter the required signal processing including noise filtration, The present case study shows that both the sound conerete and defect can be identified by the proposed nondestructive method with sufficient accuracy and have a promising potential for practical application, in real life bridge deck. The A-scan result Keywords: Concrete Bridge deck, Nondestructive test, Pulse Echo, Structural Health Monitoring.
