	%X In this study, two kinds of nondestructive evaluation 
(NDE) techniques (rebound hardness and ultrasonic pulse velocity 
methods) are investigated for the effective maintenance of underwater 
concrete structures. A new methodology to estimate the underwater 
concrete strengths more effectively, named “artificial neural network 
(ANN) – based concrete strength estimation with the combination of 
rebound hardness and ultrasonic pulse velocity methods” is proposed 
and verified throughout a series of experimental works.
