In the test specimens, voids and delaminations are implemented in different depths and with different sizes, modelling real voids, honeycombing and debonding. Delaminations of plaster in concrete and masonry and behind tiles on concrete are investigated. PPT is based on the frequency analysis of the cooling down process of actively heated surfaces. Therefore, it is contactless and thus completely non-destructive (if overheating of the surface is prevented), fast and allows the inspection of large surface areas. The interpretation of amplitude and phase images gives semi-quantitative information about the observed defects. The phase images provide a deeper probing up to 10–15 cm in relation to the interpretation of the thermograms and to the amplitude images. In addition, the influence of surface inhomogeneities and non-uniform heating is reduced.

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.

Defects like voids in concrete having a different thermal diffusivity in comparison to the bulk material are visualised by different surface temperatures. The differences between temperature transient curves above sound regions and above inhomogeneities are expected to include information about the defect parameters. Experimental investigations with impulse thermography and radar on a concrete test specimen containing voids were analysed. Radar was used to determine the depth of the voids. The influence of size and depth of the voids on the temperature transient curves was studied for different heating times. The transient curves were also fitted with a simple semi-empirical model.

In recent years several investigations have been done to apply active thermography to civil engineering. For quantitative investigations in this area of application, finite difference calculations have been performed for systematic studies on the influence of environmental conditions, heating power and time, defect depth and size and thermal properties of the bulk material (concrete). The comparison of simulated and experimental data enables the quantitative analysis of defects.

T1 - Comparative performance tests and validation of NDT methods for concrete testing N2 - Validation of non-destructive testing methods is necessary to create a common basis where different systems can be compared and their applications and limitations be identified. This can be achieved through comparing the measurements taken by several systems used for a common diagnostic purpose under practical but controlled testing conditions. Well-designed small and large laboratory or field specimens promise such conditions. The special concrete specimen (LCS) at BAM was constructed for validation purposes, in particular, to be used for evaluating the performance of echo methods. The thickness of the specimen is varying and it contains carefully designed built-in faults, such as voids, honeycombs and tendon ducts with various degrees of grouting defects. Since the geometry and condition of the defects are known, it can be used to compare the performance of radar, ultrasonic, impact-echo. The research was conducted within the Research group FOR384, sponsored by the German Research Society DFG.
