Measuring instruments used for non-destructive testing of structures thanks to advances in electronics and electrical engineering are still more frequently applied. Among the building materials with which the ability to perform quality control using non-destructive testing methods would be most welcome is indisputably steel reinforced fibre concrete (SFRC). The paper deals with the design of new methods and methodologies that enable determination of the concentration and orientation of steel fibres in steel fibre reinforced concrete. Especially the distribution of steel fibres in concrete is the quintessential aspect of this construction material. Initial results of experiments have demonstrated the applicability of the proposed methods and methodologies and the objective of the article is to introduce it to the scientific community.

A computer model and the results of a numerical experiment for a sensitive element on a planar mushroom-shaped metamaterial with cells of the “Maltese cross” type are presented. The proposed electrodynamic structure is shown to be applicable for nondestructive testing of geometric and electrophysical parameters of technological media, as well as searching for inhomogeneities in them. Resonant frequency shift and change of the attenuation coefficient value of the structure serve as informative parameters.

A powerful non-destructive testing (NDT) technique is adopted to study the internal defects and elemental distribution/homogeneity and porosity of aerated brick and EPS aggregate poly brick samples. In the present study the internal defects like homogeneity, porosity, elemental distribution, EPS aggregate and aerator distributor in the test samples have been observed by the measurement of gray value/optical density of the neutron radiographic images of these samples. From this measurement it is found that the neutron intensity/optical density variation with the pixel distance of the AOI of the NR images in both expanded polystyrene (EPS) aggregate poly brick and aerated brick samples comply almost same in nature with respect to the whole AOI but individually each AOI shows different nature from one AOI to another and it confirms that the elemental distribution within a AOI is almost homogeneous. Finally it was concluded that homogeneity, elemental distribution in the EPS aggregate poly brick sample is better than that of the aerated brick sample.
