Abstract
Ultrasonic testing, a recent and important advancement in nondestructive testing techniques, is being utilized by ENEL (Italian National Electricity Board) for the verification of the integrity of reinforced concrete foundations and the soil upon which they rest. This technique allows engineers to obtain, for the sections under investigation, sonic maps which are then correlated with the elastic properties of the materials and with their degree of homogeneity. With the aid of exemplary ultrasonic surveys of concrete dams, this paper explains the theory and practice relevant to ultrasonic testing, and evidences the reliability, flexibility and accuracy of this nondestructive testing technique.
