Summary:

Massive concrete structures form a specific group among the whole category of concrete structures, which require a separate aproach to design, construction and control processes. Continuous progress in material science and technology, measurement devices and techniques, numerical modelling and computation and, last but not least, data analysis stimulates developement of new diagnostic methods, that correspond well to the needs of massive concrete structures evaluation. These new methods allow determination of state of concrete on the structure surface as well as inside the structure. The paper presents a literature survey of described cases of massive concrete structures evaluation from several past years.
