Resumen
En la actualidad, las técnicas de ensayo no destructivas se han convertido en una herramienta fundamental para la ingeniería civil. De la mano de los avances de la tecnología, dichas técnicas han visto gran progreso en años recientes. Numerosas investigaciones han sido y continúan siendo publicadas, y de ahí surge la necesidad de una guía que convenientemente, a través de un enfoque contemporáneo, haga referencia a teoría y casos de estudio que ilustren al lector en la materia. Este último es el principal objetivo de este artículo. Con base en una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura, se presenta un análisis del estado del arte de una serie de métodos no destructivos que se enfoca en su utilización específica para la evaluación de estructuras de concreto. Dichos métodos se han agrupado en seis categorías de acuerdo con su aplicación principal, y se discuten distintas limitaciones, retos y perspectivas a futuro de los mismos.
