Voids beneath concrete slabs
CGA has seen an upturn in work related to non-destructive hammer testing of concrete slabs-on-grade, which documents the presence or absence of voids beneath the slab. (This can be due to either localized settlement or slab curling.) An article on this was published by several staff members in the July 2009 issue of Concrete International, […]...
Infrasound
Michael Gendreau’s recent focus has been on the impact of low-frequency sound (infrasound, or sound at frequencies below 100 Hz) on the research environment. He has given presentations at several conferences (Paris, Krakow, and Reno), and his work relating noise levels to resolution in high-end imaging systems will form the basis of a set of […]...
