A1 - Wiggenhauser, Herbert A1 - Balasubramaniam, Krishnan T1 - Detection of honeycomb defects in reinforced concrete structures using acoustic pulse-echo methods and wavelet transforms N2 - Honeycombs/compaction faults occur in the concrete structures due to improper solidification of the concrete, which may reduce the strength of the concrete and also act as a passage for the water/acids that further corrodes the reinforcements. This paper explores about the acoustic pulse-echo techniques for the detection of honeycomb defects in a laboratory specimen located at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), Berlin. Since concrete is an inhomogeneous medium, the defect Signals are masked by the material noise due to large amount of scattering/ reflections of acoustic waves. A filtering method using the discrete wavelet transforms is applied on the ultrasonic time Signals for the better localization of defects.

T1 - Ultrasound based monitoring system for concrete monolithic objects N2 - Ultrasound sensors should be embedded into concrete for monitoring concrete properties. These new longitudinal wave sensors with a center frequency of 60 kHz were examined regarding their suitability for ultrasonic measurements in concrete structures in terms of emission characteristics, sensitivity and frequency ränge. For the measurement of the radiation patterns, the sensors were embedded vertically and horizontally in concrete cylinders. The directivity pattern was measured using a laser vibrometer. The sensitivity of the sensor was determined in water using different sensors of the same type. It shows changes in the signal amplitude as well as variations in the frequency ränge for different transmitter-receiver combinations. The attenuation of the concrete affects the achievable resolution of the measurements and thus, the maximum possible spacing of the sensors within a concrete element. Experimental tests helped optimizing the distances with respect to the required resolution and the effort of embedding the sensors. The signal attenuation in the concrete was measured in the frequency ränge of 60 kHz in response to various degrees of reinforcement and grain size. For this purpose, the sensors were cast at different distances in the specimens studied. The recorded Signals were evaluated for their amplitude and frequency spectrum.
