heal.abstract	Non-destructive techniques, such as infrared thermography and ground penetrating radar, have the potential to produce rapid and accurate assessment of airport pavements. In this work, an examination of asphalt pavements situated at the International Airport of Athens in Greece, is performed. Infrared thermography and ground penetrating radar are introduced with the purpose of providing prompt and accurate condition assessment of airport pavements. These techniques are used efficiently in the detection of cracks, voids and other imperfections appearing either from the ageing of the materials or due to poor workmanship. Finally, this paper describes the problem of deteriorating airport pavements, the procedure and the equipment used for the in situ tests, while the results obtained lead to the suggestion of a predictive monitoring non-destructive technique for the inspection and appropriateness of efficient engineering structures.	en
