Nondestructive Testing involves the use of methods such as wave propagation, electromagnetism, electrical
conductivity, and thermal conductivity to test structural integrity and
thereby allow nondestructive assessment of structures and the
possibility of structural failures before they occur. The book covers
different techniques designed to provide information about the
integrity and quality of the material that makes up a deep foundation.

Nondestructive
Testing methods are used at all stages of a structure's life - from new
construction quality control to residual lifetime prediction, and even
during the monitoring of demolition. In addition, Nondestructive
Testing is being increasingly specified in deep foundation projects,
though often without a good understanding of its limitations and with
the result that methods are often misused. In order to be able to
specify an appropriate method, or to recognize an inappropriate
specification, it is necessary for the engineer, specifier and/or contractor to understand the capabilities and limitations of each of the methods currently in use.
