A1 - Wöstmann, Jens A1 - Wiggenhauser, Herbert T1 - 3D-Visualisation of NDT-Data using Data Fusion Technique N2 - Non-destructive testing (NDT) of concrete structures is performed using pulse-echo methods. According to the type of the applied waves it can be classified as acoustic (Impact-Echo, Ultrasonics) and electromagnetic methods (Radar). The results are visualised through different imaging processes. This work is performed in the frame of a research project promoted by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (FOR384).The objective of data fusion is to use the complementary information of the different methods. Radar can detect metallic reflectors in concrete (metallic ducts and concrete reinforcement) very well. This method is not able to locate defects behind these reflectors (injecting defects, defects behind close concrete reinforcement), because the electromagnetic waves are completely reflected at metals. The acoustic methods are able to compensate this deficit i.e. acoustic waves can penetrate through metal. But acoustic waves in the ultrasonic range are completely reflected by air layers. Air layers have smaller influence on radar propagation, so that both methods complement each other.In order to be able to combine the NDT-data from several methods records at the same volume, the different data setsmodes of signals must be adapted. The ultrasonic and radar data have to be reconstructed with programs based on the Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique (SAFT) before data fusion. Subsequently, a conversion of the data into a uniform format has to be carried out. This is a prerequisite in order to keep the data exchange between the project partners as simple as possible. After the data sets are imported and transferred into a common reference system, they can be processed with operations according to the purpose of the investigation. Results, which have been achieved in concrete test specimen with radar and ultrasonics, will be presented and will show the feasibility of the data fusion method.

In this paper it is demonstrated that PPT is very well suited for NDT in civil engineering. The method is based on pulse heating of the investigated specimen and on the observation of the cooling down process on its surface with an infrared camera. The transient behaviour is afterwards analysed with Fast Fourier Transformation, enabling the creation of phase and amplitude images with enhanced visualisation of the defects. Results of European and National (i.e. DFG) funded projects are presented, for example the detection of voids and inhomogeneities close to the surface and the localisation of delaminations on plastered concrete and masonry specimen. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Im Rahmen eines von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft geförderten Vorhabens zur zerstörungsfreien Prüfung im Bauwesen wird in der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) in Zusammenarbeit mit der Technischen Universität Berlin (TUB) die Puls-Phasen-Thermografie (PPT) weiterentwickelt, bewertet und eingesetzt. Die durch die Impuls-Thermografie (IT) aufgenommenen Daten werden mittels Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) bearbeitet. Die durch die FFT gewonnenen Phasenbilder reduzieren die Störeinflüsse von Oberflächeninhomogenitäten und ungleichmäßiger Erwärmung. Die dargestellten Ergebnisse zeigen deutlich, dass sich die PPT sehr gut zur zerstörungsfreien Prüfung im Bauwesen eignet. Insbesondere Inhomogenitäten im oberflächennahen Bereich, wie Ablösungen und Hohlstellen hinter Beschichtungen (Putz, CFK-Laminate etc.), aber auch Defekte in größeren Tiefen können zuverlässig geortet und bildgebend dargestellt werden.
