Abstract
In recent years building owners and asset managers have begun to embrace the idea of Predicitive Maintenance (PdM), but there is such a wide variety of tools being touoted as "condition monitoring systems" that it is difficult for non-PdM expert to make a wise choice. The owners and managers that have used PdM have experienced various degrees of success or failure, depending on how well the chosen methods met the purposes of the PdM program, and suited the particular structure on which they are being applied. This paper examines some of the requirements that monitoring and testing programs must meet if they are to provide reliable data that will be truly useful for PdM of concrete or masony structures, and review some of the test methods currently available that meet those requirements.
