Abstract: The concept of non-destructive testing (NDT) is to obtain material properties “in place” specimens without the destruction of the specimens and to do the structural health monitoring. NDT using Rebound hammer, Ultra pulse velocity, Half-cell potential, core cutter, carbonation depth, rebar locator, Rapid chloride penetration test, electric resistivity meter test and vibration base analysis by data analoger are very popular and highly effective in conducting structural health monitoring. The structure can be investigated by using a visual inspection, NDT, laboratory and field test performance. In this article a review of these tests have been provided to conduct effective structural health monitoring of a RCC structure

Keywords: Non-destructive test, visual inspection, corrosion, compressive strength
