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
The state of the infrastructure is drawing much attention both in the US and abroad. Engineers have been seriously addressing and debating the various concerns regarding aging infrastructure for much of the previous decade. Bridges, tunnels, dams and other civil engineering structures have traditionally been designed and built with a finite design lifetime in mind. It has become necessary to develop safe and sound technical approaches for life extension as an alternative to costly replacement. Active [e.g., 1–3] and passive [e.g., 4–7] approaches for monitoring structural damage accumulation have been proposed.
