The syllabi for training courses that cover the conventional NDT methods are available in IAEA-TECDOC-628. This TECDOC covers the conventional methods of liquid penetrant testing, magnetic particle testing, eddy current testing, radiographic testing, ultrasonic testing, visual inspection and leak testing. Based on these syllabi, training course notes have been produced to cover Industrial Radiography (IAEA Training Course Series No. 3) and Ultrasonic Testing of Materials at Level 2 (IAEA Training Course Series No. 10). These training course notes deal predominantly with the NDT of metallic materials. While NDT of metallic materials is a very important application, NDT is being used increasingly for the inspection of concrete structures. Training Course Series Nos. 3 and 10 cover the inspection of concrete using the relevant NDT method; however, coverage is brief and does not present the whole range of NDT methods used for the NDT of concrete. Concrete has become a very common construction material in most IAEA Member States and problems have occurred because of faulty construction practice. A need was therefore identified for a guidebook on the NDT of concrete. The first IAEA Training Course on the NDT of Concrete and other Non-Metallic Materials was held in 1987 in Japan, at the Japanese Society for Non-Destructive Inspection. Subsequent courses/workshops were held in Thailand and Singapore. In 1998, AFRA national co-ordinators prepared a draft syllabus on the NDT of Concrete. This syllabus was circulated for comment to national co-ordinators in other IAEA projects. R.S. Gilmour (Australia) compiled the first draft of the training material, which was circulated to the national NDT co-ordinators for the NDT subproject in different RCA countries. IAEA experts discussed the amendments made to this draft at a Meeting on the NDT of concrete in the Malaysian Institute for Nuclear Technology (MINT), Malaysia in September 1999. During the compilation of this manuscript, guidance and support were provided by Abd Nassir Ibrahim from Malaysia and G. Singh from India. The IAEA officer responsible for this publication was A.A. Khan of the Division of Physical and Chemical Sciences.
