Ultrasonic NDT methods can be used to have a look inside those components. To understand the complex effects resulting from elastic wave propagation, it is important to build test specimens and to analyze the measurements with the aid of modelling. At BAM (German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing) a new specimen is under construction to realize some of the most common geometrical structures which can be expected in the field of tendon duct testing in concrete bridges. We present various measurement concepts and a comparison between measurement and modelling with EFIT (Elastic Finite Integration Technique), as well as results of imaging methods based on conventional SAFT (Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique) or FT-SAFT (SAFT with Fourier Techniques) together with phase evaluation. In addition we will present the results of time reversal using AFIT (Acoustic Finite Integration Technique) and a one-way wave propagation method to improve the imaging.
