- Synopsis
- Generally, quality of precast concrete is stable at high level, because precast concrete is manufactured at the authorized precast concrete plants. This paper showed the outline of the authorization system of precast concrete plants, and an example of the latest quality control method. Moreover, this reported the result of study on applicability of electromagnetic induction method for the inspection of cover depth of precast concrete, because opportunity of measuring cover depth of RC structure of the site operation by an electromagnetic induction method will increase from now on.
