Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.
This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract
Over 40% of the nation’s bridges have been classified as structurally deficient or functionally obsolete, with the estimated cost of repairs running in the billions of dollars [1]. It would not be economically feasible to replace all of these structures. Therefore, quantitative assessment of bridge condition is needed to determine which structures need replacing and which are safe.
