This Special Issue, entitled “Non-Destructive Testing in Civil Engineering”, aims to present to interested researchers and engineers the latest achievements in the field of new research methods, as well as the original results of scientific research carried out with their use—not only in laboratory conditions but also in selected case studies. The articles published in this Special Issue are theoretical–experimental and experimental, and also show the practical nature of the research. They are grouped by topic, and the main content of each article is briefly discussed for your convenience. These articles extend the knowledge in the field of non-destructive testing in civil engineering with regard to new and improved non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, their complementary application, and also the analysis of their results—including the use of sophisticated mathematical algorithms and artificial intelligence, as well as the diagnostics of materials, components, structures, entire buildings, and interesting case studies.

Technology: general issues --- History of engineering & technology --- conveyor belt --- climatic factors --- thermal shocks --- mechanical properties --- applied geophysics --- urban geophysics --- Eleftheria Square --- ERT --- probability-based ERT inversion (PERTI) method --- GPR --- EMI --- impact-echo --- tooth gear impactor --- contact duration --- delamination --- rapid scanning --- non-destructive testing --- concrete slab --- building defects --- building diagnosis --- building envelope --- building inspection system --- urgency of repair --- historic buildings --- brick walls --- nondestructive testing --- artificial neural networks --- Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) --- passive house (PH) --- heat flux meter (HFM) --- quantitative infrared thermography (QIRT) --- building thermal performance --- U-value --- Mediterranean climate --- electrical resistivity --- electrical impedance --- concrete --- mortar --- measurement accuracy --- ultrasonic elastography --- underground detection --- soil inspection --- underwater acoustics --- non-destructive test --- monitoring --- housing --- buildings --- façade --- thermal transmittance --- HFM method --- infrared thermography --- solar loading thermography --- lock-in thermography --- passive thermography --- thermal thickness --- thermal effusivity --- infrastructure --- NDT --- onsite X-ray bridge inspection --- 950 keV/3.95 MeV X-ray sources --- PC bridge --- unfilled grout --- quantitative evaluation of stage of unfilled grout --- step-heating thermography --- active thermography --- linear effusivity fit --- ground-penetrating radar --- signal features --- material moisture --- classification --- machine learning --- moisture measurements --- building floors --- civil engineering --- crack measurement --- image processing --- high resolution --- working distance --- crack width --- visual inspection --- structure state assessment --- ground sample distance (GSD) --- sonic resonant method --- impulse excitation technique --- resonant frequency --- steel fiber reinforced concrete --- fiber orientation --- micro-computed tomography --- ultrasound --- spectral induced polarization --- small force --- load --- instrumental signal --- two-point bending test --- strain gauge --- calibration equation --- n/a --- façade
