The application of gammametry to the study of reinforced concrete

The use of a gamma-ray scanner for the examination of reinforcement in concrete structures is discussed. The scanner consists of a 60Co source and a NaI(Tl) scintillator fixed to the source. A mathematical model is introduced to derive the principal features of the technique and to study the influen...
