ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to combine test data gathered from Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and fuse it using Bayesian inference. The Bayesian updating technique is applied to data obtained from Ferroscan testing which is used to estimate the depth of concrete cover left in reinforced concrete structures. The tests were done while performing the seismic verification of one of the buildings of the university of Padua, Italy. It's not always feasible to take out samples from the core for laboratory testing as the art work, graffiti, paintings needs to be preserved, so NDT is always a better option for these class of buildings in monuments and heritage sites. The chapter utilises data from Ferroscan test but the same methodology can be extended to different data sets. It proposes a method to combine information in different stages of data collection and finally update the posterior to its final form.
