From page 59...
... • Methods that will likely become common for nondestructive evaluation of existing grouted/ungrouted cables are acoustic monitoring, vibration-based force measurements, ultrasonic testing of anchorages, impulse radar surveys, infrared thermography, and magnetic methods for assessing conditions in the free length of cable. Radiographic methods will also have their place; however, safety and cost issues continue to limit their usage.
