Dr. Nenad Gucunski will discuss the RABIT™ bridge deck assessment tool. The RABIT™ is the first fully automated device that simultaneously gathers quantitative data using several nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technologies and melds this data into a comprehensive diagnostic representation of concrete bridge deck condition. Benefits gained through use of this technology include: 1) quantitative condition assessment of concrete bridge decks; 2) simplified data interpretation; 3) faster data collection and analysis; 4) costs reductions; 5) improved safety for workers and drivers; and 6) reduced negative environmental impacts. Dr. Gucunski and his team are the recipient of the 2014 ASCE Charles Pankow Award for Innovation for the development of RABIT™.
