Detection and Sizing of Cracks in Structural Steel Using the Eddy Current Method FHWA-RD-00-018 NOVEMBER 2000 Research, Development, and Technology Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center 6300 Georgetown Pike McLean, VA 22101-2296 FOREWORD This report documents the findings of research related to the application of the Eddy Current method for crack detection in structural steel members of highway bridges. Historically, the Eddy Current method has been used in the aerospace and power industries to inspect cylindrical tubes and rods made from non-ferromagnetic metals. However, its applications have expanded recently and it is now being used to inspect ferromagnetic steel welds, among other new uses. This report describes the development and application of the Eddy Current method for the detection of hydrogen-assisted cracking through paint. This report will be of interest to bridge inspectors, engineers, and designers who are involved with the inspection and maintenance of our Nation’s highway bridges.
