This NEA WGIAGE workshop was held in Prague, Czech Republic on17-19 September 2013, with the objective to present and discuss the state-of-the-art techniques for the integrity assessment of concrete structures, and to recommend areas where further research is needed.

Overall, the workshop demonstrated there has been significant development in NDE methodologies for thick-walled concrete since 2008. There is still substantial work to be done before fully qualified techniques can be deployed on a regular basis to determine the overall health of a concrete structure. The workshop concluded with recommendations for areas that would benefit from further study, and from international co-operation programmes.
