The issue of upgrading the existing engineering structures has been one of great importance for over a
decade. Deterioration of RC elements may be attributed to ageing, environmentally induced degradation, poor initial
design and/or construction, lack of maintenance, changes in codel provisions and to accidental events such as
earthquakes. Lifetime prediction and damage assessment of engineering structure is a growing part of infrastructure
planning. So, the field of condition assessment and Non-Destructive evaluation of engineering structure is an integral
part of the Civil Engineering in future.
