Abstract

This project was designed to improve acoustic signal processing for pipe condition assessment in an experimental environment, which includes burial, pressurization, and subsequent intentional damage to the pre-stressing wires in three specimens of prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP). Research partners: WERF and EPA.

Originally funded as WERF project INFR1SG09e
