N2 - Information from the inspection of civil engineering structures must be quantitative and be given the proper probabilistic treatment to insure the highest possible accuracy of safety and reliability analyses that include this information. The impact-echo method is a technique that has been considered for use in assessing the state of the interface between concrete and reinforcing bars in RC structures. Previous studies have developed a testing procedure to detect defects at the steel-concrete interface, but the interpretation of results is qualitative. A more quantitative procedure for interpreting these results is examined in a probabilistic sense in an effort to estimate the detection probabilities for this application of impact-echo.
