Among its numerous applications, deployment in civil structures has caught attraction of many recently. The detection of defects based on inherent physical quantities such as density and atomic number by probing naturally available cosmic muons makes MST a novel idea suitable for inexpensive and non-destructive imaging. In this work, capability of MST to detect concrete defects has been tested and evaluated in terms of two-dimensional imaging and statistical calculations. The imaging has been done on unique and critical defects causing degradation in civil structures. The capability and limitation of MST in this avenue have also been studied.
