Mechanical Impedance`s capability of detecting deterioration near concrete surface, makes it more suitable method for periodical and routine inspection of concrete infrastructures. The Impact waveform from which mechanical impedance is derived and could further be used to investigate the durability condition with respect to air permeability of concrete structure. Concrete damage by fire was simulated in this research. It was discovered that the mechanical impedance parameters have good correlation with the air permeability condition of the concrete surface.
