Abstract:
This study delves into the utilization of solar loading thermography for inspecting concrete structures, specifically
focusing on delamination detection via active thermography algorithms. The model also assists in identifying the most relevant
times for infrared data collection, depending on whether the delaminated surface is facing North, South, East, or West, taking
into consideration the sun’s positional influence. Experimental data is employed to verify the validity of the proposed model.
Furthermore, the study investigates the correlation between the heat flux absorbed by the surface and the resultant thermal contrast created by internal delamination.
