Der tiefenabhängige Chloridgehalt sowie der Karbonatisierungsfortschritt müssen bei der Bewertung des Ist-Zustandes, beim Instandsetzungsbedarf und ggf. bei der Planung eines erforderlichen Instandsetzungskonzeptes mit einbezogen werden. Seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre wird an der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung die laserinduzierte Plasmaspektroskopie (engl. Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) – kurz LIBS – stetig für die chemische Analyse von Beton weiterentwickelt. In diesem Beitrag wird der aktuelle Stand der Forschung/ Technik und der Normungsarbeit präsentiert, sowie zukünftig mögliche Anwendungen vorgestellt. Mit den aktuellen LIBS-Systemen (mobiles LIBS-System sowie kommerziell erhältliche Laborsysteme) ist es möglich den Chloridgehalt ortsaufgelöst in wenigen Minuten zu quantifizieren, sogenannte Elementlandkarten zu erstellen und somit die Elementverteilung innerhalb des Betons zu visualisieren. Durch das Scannen eines Bohrkernquerschnittes und der simultanen Erfassung von mehreren Elementen mit einer Messung, ist es zudem möglich, die Gesteinskörnung in den Messdaten zu identifizieren und den Chloridgehalt auf die Zementsteinmatrix zu beziehen. Fehlerquellen aus der Umrechnung der betonbezogenen Chloridgehalte können dadurch minimiert werden. Neben den Grundlagen von LIBS werden vor allem aktuelle Praxisbeispiele vorgestellt, die die aktuellen Möglichkeiten des Verfahrens veranschaulichen. T2 - 9.

As a part of the DFG research group CoDA (Concrete Damage Assessment by Coda Waves), the works within this PhD project aim for identification of damage sensitive parameters extracted from ultrasonic measurements obtained with embedded sensors, the determination of environmental (reversible) influences on the signal and the localisation of damaged areas. The main technique used for the detection of changes in the monitored material is the so-called Coda Wave Interferometry (CWI). It uses the later part of the ultrasonic recording for the detection of small changes in the sensed area and the calculation of a relative velocity change. Using this technique we can show that we are able to detect changes in concrete temperature with ultrasound measurements. This enables temperature correction for ultrasound monitoring with embedded sensors. The crucial point for imaging and localisation with coda waves is the calculation of the so-called sensitivity kernels. We propose the application of numerical wave simulations for the kernel calculations instead of the commonly used diffusivity equation. Using finite-difference wave modelling code from our DFG project partners we are able to calculate those Kernels and first results are shown in this presentation. The major task for the second year will be the development and implementation of the inversion algorithm as well as the preparation of validation experiments.

Only if the readiness for layering is reached, an installation without damages can be expected in all cases. In general, three different approaches exist to measure the residual water content: determination of the moisture content, determination of the water release, or determination of the corresponding relative humidity. All three approaches are tested in laboratory at eight different screed types including two different samples thicknesses in each case. The moisture content and the water release are measured by sample weighing, the corresponding relative humidity is measured by embedded sensors. All three approaches are compared and correlated to each other. The evaluations show only weak correlation and, in several cases, contradicting results. Samples are considered as being ready for layering and not-being ready for layering at the same time, depending on the chosen approach. Due to these contradicting results, a general threshold for the risk of damage cannot be derived based on these measurements. Furthermore, the experiment demonstrates that the measurement of corresponding relative humidity is independent of the considered screed type or screed composition. This makes the humidity measurement to very promising approach for the installation of material moisture monitoring systems in the future.

The aging of concrete is caused by different damage processes like the chloride induced pitting corrosion of the reinforcement. The penetration depth and the concentration of harmful species are crucial factors in the damage assessment. As a highly cost and time-consuming standard procedure, the analysis of concrete drill cores or drilling by wet-chemistry is widely used. This method provides element concentration to the total mass as aggregates and binder are homogenized. In order to provide a method that is capable to detect the element concentration regarding the cement content only, the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) will be presented. The LIBS method uses a focused pulsed laser on the sample surface to ablate material. The high-power density and the laser-material interaction causes a laser-induced plasma that emits elemental and molecular line emission due to energy transition of the excited species in the plasma during the cooling phase. As each element provides element-specific line emission, it is in principle possible to detect any element on the periodic table (spectroscopic fingerprint) with one laser shot. In combination with a translation stage the sample under investigation can be spatially resolved using a scan raster with a resolution up to 100 µm (element mapping). Due to the high spatial resolution, the element distribution and the heterogeneity of the concrete can be evaluated. By using chemometrics the non-relevant aggregates can be excluded from the data set and the element concentration can be quantified and referred to a specific solid phase like the binding matrix (cement) only. In order to analyze transport processes like diffusion and migration the twodimensional element distributions can provide deep insight into the transport through the pore space and local enrichments of elements. As LIBS is a multi-elemental method it is also possible to compare the ingress and transport process of different elements like Cl, Na, K, S, C, and Li simultaneously and evaluate cross-correlations between the different ions. Furthermore, the element mapping allows to visualize the transport along cracks. This work will show the state of the art in terms of hardware and software for an automated LIBS system as well as different application for a concrete analysis 4.0. Focus will be the application of LIBS for a fast concrete analysis.

Luftgekoppelter Ultraschall spielt bisher in kommerziellen Anwendungen vor Allem im Bauwesen eine untergeordnete Rolle, da die Differenz der akustischen Impedanzen von Luft und Festkörpern immense Verluste beim Übergang des Schallsignals hervorruft. Im Rahmen des Promotionsvorhabens soll die Eignung eines neuartigen Anregungsprinzip untersucht werden, mit dem ein Großteil dieser Verluste vermieden werden soll. Anstelle eines Festkörpers soll mit Hilfe einer fluidischen Düse Druckluft zur Signalerzeugung eingesetzt werden. Die Impedanzverluste zwischen Aktuatormembran und Umgebungsluft entfallen daher. Die gezielte Schallerzeugung durch einen pulsierenden Freistrahl ist weitgehend unerforscht. Es ist daher notwendig, den so erzeugten Schallpuls in der Interaktion mit dem transienten Strömungsfeld zu untersuchen. Das kompressible Medium Luft und die geringen räumlichen Dimensionen einer hochfrequenten Pulsdüse werfen darüber hinaus einige Herausforderungen hinsichtlich der eingesetzten Messtechnik auf. Hier sollen geeignete Verfahren weiterentwickelt und validiert werden, um die Eignung des fluidisch erzeugten Pulses zu überprüfen. In diesem Vortrag werden erste Messungen an einem fluidischen Schalter mit denen an einem kommerziellen Luftultraschallprüfkopf verglichen.

One of the most investigated advantages of steel fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) is the deceleration of crack growth and hence it’s improved sustainability due to e.g. decrease of permeability of concrete by aggressive substances. Additional benefits are associated with the structural properties of FRC, where fibres can significantly increase the ductility and the tensile strength of concrete. In some applications, such as tunnel linings or industrial slabs, it is even possible to entirely replace the conventional reinforcement, leading to significant logistical and environmental benefits. Fibre reinforcement can, however, have critical disadvantages and even hinder the performance of concrete, since it can induce an anisotropic material behaviour of the mixture if the fibres are not appropriately oriented. For a safe use of FRC in the future, reliable non-destructive methods need to be identified to assess the fibres’ orientation in hardened concrete. In this study, ultrasonic material testing, electrical impedance testing, and X-ray computer tomography have been investigated for this purpose using specially produced samples with biased or random fibre orientations. This paper demonstrates the capabilities of each of these NDT techniques for fibre orientation measurements and draws conclusions based on these results about the most promising areas for future research and development using these techniques.

This is intended to supplement or replace the previously practiced manual sorting, which harbors many risks and dangers for the staff and only enables obvious, visually detectable differences for separation. The method of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy is to be used in combination with hyperspectral sensors. Due to the jointly processed information (data fusion), this should lead to a significant improvement in the separation of types. In addition to the sorting of different materials (concrete, main masonry building materials, organic components, glass, etc.), impurities such as SO3-containing building materials (gypsum, aerated concrete, etc.) could also be detected and separated. The subsequent recycling and sales opportunities are examined, such as the use of recycled aggregates in concrete, the recycling of building materials containing sulphate as a gypsum substitute for the cement industry or the agglomeration of synthetic lightweight aggregates for lightweight concrete or as a substrate for green roofs. At the same time, it is investigated whether soluble components (sulfates, heavy metals, etc.) can be detected by LIBS without a wet chemical analysis and what impact the recycling materials have on the environment. The entire value chain is examined using the example of the Berlin location in order to minimize economic / technological barriers and obstacles on a cluster level and to sustainably increase the recovery and recycling rates.

The resulting demand for structural assessments of existing bridges is of substantial importance, both nationally and internationally. The information available about the considered system provides the basis for reassessments. Both the structural reliability and the validity of the computation results depend primarily on the condition, i.e. the quality and the relevance of this information. The purposeful measurement of quality-evaluated and relevant information can significantly increase the engineer’s power of judgement regarding the structural reliability. It is advisable to keep the destructive structural interventions necessary to obtain such information to a minimum. The purpose of the present thesis is the development and evaluation of a methodology for the probabilistic reassessment of existing structures using non-destructively measured data and for the validation of the suitability of non-destructive measurement procedures for the application in the context of reassessments. For this purpose, the applicability of the rules established within the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty (GUM)-framework for evaluating the quality of the measured information to be used later in the reassessment is emphasized. The requirements on measured data-based basic variables are derived from the First Order Reliability Method (FORM), a probabilistic approximation procedure. Based on this, the metrology and the reassessment are brought together. The measurement-based basic variables are explicitly appreciated as random variables in reliability analyses. The developed methodology is evaluated by means of two prestressed concrete bridges and four basic variables. Geometrical measurement results gathered by radar and ultrasound measurements are incorporated into reassessments regarding the limit states ULS bending, ULS shear and SLS decompression. The modelling of the measurements is an essential part in order to calculate the measurement results, each consisting of a measured value and the attributed measurement uncertainty. It is shown that the incorporation of the non-destructively collected measurement results reduces the uncertainty to be covered and increases the level of approximation of the considered models. The measurement results are reliable and comparable. Extensive sensitivity analyses provide information about crucial structure parameters to be measured, since they significantly influence the structural reliability. This way, the relevance of the information is derived. Such analyses are suitable for the design and commissioning of investigations meeting the demands as well as for the purposeful refinement of initially insufficient computation models. Furthermore, the appreciation of measured data-based basic variables can increase the robustness of structural analyses. Measurement-based reliability reassessments are particularly useful if required information is missing or doubts have arisen about the available information. In the best case, the incorporation of non-destructively measured data results in the extension of estimated remaining service lives, in the enhancement of infrastructural availabilities and in the optimization of the consumption of resources. N2 - Die Alterung bestehender Brückenbauwerke fällt mit dem sich verschlechternden Zustand und zunehmenden Anforderungen an die Bausubstanz zusammen, die eine Folge von steigenden Verkehrszahlen und der Zulassung des Schwerlastverkehrs sind. Der daraus erwachsende Bedarf an Beurteilungen von bestehenden Brücken ist national und international fortwährend groß. Die Grundlage für Nachrechnungen sind die über das System verfügbaren Informationen. Sowohl die rechnerische Zuverlässigkeit eines Tragwerks als auch die Validität der Ergebnisse hängen im Wesentlichen vom Zustand, also von der Qualität und der Relevanz dieser Informationen ab. Die gezielte Messung von gütebewerteten, relevanten Informationen kann die Urteilsfähigkeit des Beurteilenden über die Zuverlässigkeit eines Tragwerks signifikant steigern. Wünschenswert ist die Erhebung derartiger Informationen ohne signifikante Eingriffe in die Bausubstanz. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Entwicklung und Erprobung einer Vorgehensweise für die probabilistische Beurteilung von bestehenden Bauwerken mit zerstörungsfrei gemessenen Daten und einer Methodik zum objektiven Nachweis der Eignung von zerstörungsfreien Messverfahren zur Anwendung im Zuge einer Nachrechnung. Herausgestellt wird die Eignung der im Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) publizierten Regeln zur Bewertung der Qualität der gemessenen Informationen, die später im statischen Nachweis verwendet werden sollen. Die Anforderungen an die Basisvariablen, d. h. an die Eingangsgrößen im probabilistischen Nachweis, werden aus den Vorschriften zur Zuverlässigkeitsanalyse mit dem probabilistischen Näherungsverfahren FORM, der First Order Reliability Method, abgeleitet. Darauf basiert die Entwicklung der Schnittstelle zwischen der Messtechnik und der Nachrechnung. Im Kern werden die messdatenbasierten Basisvariablen explizit als Zufallsgrößen bei der Zuverlässigkeitsanalyse berücksichtigt. Die entwickelte Vorgehensweise wird am Beispiel von zwei Spannbetonbrücken und vier Basisvariablen erprobt. In die Nachweise der Biege- und der Querkrafttragfähigkeit sowie in einen Nachweis der Dekompression fließen geometrische Messergebnisse ein, die mithilfe von Radar- und Ultraschallmessungen generiert werden. Ein wichtiger Bestandteil ist die Bildung von Modellen zur Auswertung der Messungen und zur Berechnung der Messergebnisse. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Einbeziehung der zerstörungsfrei generierten Messergebnisse die Unsicherheit in den Berechnungsmodellen reduzieren und den Grad der Annäherung der Modelle an die Realität steigern kann. Die Messergebnisse sind zuverlässig und vergleichbar. Umfassende Sensitivitätsanalysen geben Aufschluss über sinnvollerweise zu messende Bauwerksparameter, die einen maßgeblichen Einfluss auf die Tragwerkszuverlässigkeit ausüben. Auf diese Weise wird die Relevanz der Informationen ermittelt. Das Potential derartiger Analysen für die gezielte Planung und Beauftragung von Messungen sowie für die bedarfsgerechte Zuschärfung von initial unzureichenden Berechnungsmodellen erscheint groß. Die messdatenbasierten Modelle können darüber hinaus die Robustheit einer Tragwerksanalyse steigern. Die Berücksichtigung von Messergebnissen ist dann besonders nützlich, wenn zur Beurteilung erforderliche Informationen fehlen oder Zweifel an den verfügbaren Informationen aufgekommen sind. Im besten Fall resultiert daraus die Verlängerung von rechnerischen Restnutzungsdauern, die Steigerung der Verfügbarkeit der Infrastruktur, die Optimierung des Ressourcenverbrauchs und insgesamt eine realitätsnahe Bauwerksbewertung.

T1 - 3D Active Source Seismic Imaging of the Alpine Fault Zone and the Whataroa Glacial Valley in New Zealand N2 - The Alpine Fault zone in New Zealand marks a major transpressional plate boundary that is late in its typical earthquake cycle. Understanding the subsurface structures is crucial to understand the tectonic processes taking place. A unique seismic survey including 2D lines, a 3D array, and borehole recordings, has been performed in the Whataroa Valley and provides new insights into the Alpine Fault zone down to ∼2 km depth at the location of the Deep Fault Drilling Project (DFDP)-2 drill site. Seismic images are obtained by focusing prestack depth migration approaches. Despite the challenging conditions for seismic imaging within a sediment filled glacial valley and steeply dipping valley flanks, several structures related to the valley itself as well as the tectonic fault system are imaged. A set of several reflectors dipping 40°–56° to the southeast are identified in a ∼600 m wide zone that is interpreted to be the minimum extent of the damage zone. Different approaches image one distinct reflector dipping at ∼40°, which is interpreted to be the main Alpine Fault reflector located only ∼100 m beneath the maximum drilled depth of the DFDP-2B borehole. At shallower depths (z < 0.5 km), additional reflectors are identified as fault segments with generally steeper dips up to 56°. Additionally, a glacially over-deepened trough with nearly horizontally layered sediments and a major fault (z < 0.5 km) are identified 0.5–1 km south of the DFDP-2B borehole. Thus, a complex structural environment is seismically imaged and shows the complexity of the Alpine Fault at Whataroa.

Despite these regulations, in practice concrete structures often show severe damage during their service life. One of these damages is pitting corrosion of the reinforcement, which can be caused by chloride ingress into the structure. Therefore, determining the distribution and depth of chloride ingress is important in predicting the service life. LIBS provides an alternative method to conventional wet chemistry in civil engineering. Despite many advantages, the use of LIBS has been severely limited due to a lack of regulations. Together with project partners from research and industry, we are currently working on a leaflet that will regulate chloride analysis in civil engineering using LIBS. This year, an international round robin test was organized to evaluate the performance of LIBS for chloride analysis in cement pastes. No specifications were given for the experimental LIBS setup and data evaluation. The preliminary results are presented.

Hardware parameters of lasers and spectrometers used in the setup as well as additionally required components such as optics or process gas pipes must be carefully aligned and adjusted because factors like (i) focal conditions of the optics, (ii) alignment of the sample, (iii) process purge gas (types, flow rate) or (iv) measurement settings (integration time, accumulation of pulses) have a big impact on the signal quality. Therefore, in most cases the effect of different factors is evaluated empirically due to changing one factor at a time while keeping the overall configuration the same. In the end, the optimal configuration is selected based on the best parameters for each influencing factor. During optimization, a configuration of the experimental setup is aimed at, which allows e.g. the highest signal intensity or the lowest variation. In most cases, cross-correlation, interference and interaction among the various factors are not considered. For this reason, the possibilities of using Design of Experiment (DoE) to optimize a LIBS experiment will be shown and advantages of (i) reduction of testing plans using a feature space, (ii) identifying and considering cross-correlations and interactions, (iii) evaluating individual impacts on the measurement (e.g. contour and surface plots) as well as (iv) multivariate models for prediction of impacts will be presented.

This specimen has been described in detail by Niederleithinger et al. (2021), who applied muon tomography, ultrasonic echo measurements, radar and X-ray laminography to visualize its internal structure. The Impact-Echo method is based on the excitation of the zero-group-velocity frequency of the first symmetric Lamb mode of a plate-like structure, in order to assess its thickness. Numerous publication elaborate on Impact-Echo theory, examples are (Gibson and Popovics 2005, Schubert and Köhler 2008 , Abraham and Popovics 2010). The measurements have been conducted using a setup that contains only commercially available components. The setup consists of an Olson CTG-2 concrete thickness gauge (Olsen Instruments, USA) for actuation and sensing and an 8-bit NI USB-5132 digital storage oscilloscope (National Instruments, USA) combined with the Echolyst software (Schweizerischer Verein für technische Inspektionen (SVTI), Switzerland) for data acquisition. Measurements were conducted using a grid of 23x23 points with a spacing of 50 mm. At each point 8192 samples were recorded at a sampling rate of 1 MS/s. The dataset contains the (X,Y) location in mm of the individual measurement points as well as the raw measurement data at those points.

T1 - Switching Action of a Bistable Fluidic Amplifier for Ultrasonic Testing N2 - Air-coupled ultrasonic testing is widely used in the industry for the non-destructive testing of compound materials. It provides a fast and efficient way to inspect large concrete civil infrastructures for damage that might lead to catastrophic failure. Due to the large penetration depths required for concrete structures, the use of traditional piezoelectric transducer requires high power electric systems. In this study, a novel fluidic transducer based on a bistable fluidic amplifier is investigated. Previous experiments have shown that the switching action of the device produces a high-power broadband ultrasonic signal. This study will provide further insight into the switching behaviour of the fluidic switch. Therefore, parametric CFD simulations based on compressible supersonic RANS simulations were performed, varying the inlet pressure and velocity profiles for the control flow. Switching times are analyzed with different methods, and it was found that These are mostly independent of the slope of the velocity profile at the control port. Furthermore, it was found that an inversely proportional relationship exists between flow velocity in the throat and the switching time. The results agree with the theoretical background established by experimental studies that can be found in the literature.

The Deep Fault Drilling Project (DFDP) aimed to deliver insight into the geological structure of this fault zone and its evolution by drilling and sampling the Alpine Fault at depth. Here we present results from a seismic survey around the DFDP-2 drill site in the Whataroa Valley where the drillhole almost reached the fault plane. This unique 3D seismic survey includes several 2D lines and a 3D array at the surface as well as borehole recordings. Within the borehole, the unique option to compare two measurement systems is used: conventional three-component borehole geophones and a fibre optic cable (heterodyne Distributed Vibration Sensing system (hDVS)). Both systems show coherent signals but only the hDVS system allowed a recording along the complete length of the borehole. Despite the challenging conditions for seismic imaging within a glacial valley filled with sediments and steeply dipping valley flanks, several structures related to the valley itself as well as the tectonic fault system are imaged. The pre-processing of the seismic data also includes wavefield separation for the zero-offset borehole data. Seismic images are obtained by prestack depth migration approaches. Within the glacial valley, particularly steep valley flanks are imaged directly and correlate well with results from the P-wave velocity model obtained by first arrival travel-time tomography. Additionally, a glacially over-deepened trough with nearly horizontally layered sediments is identified about 0.5 km south of the DFDP-2B borehole. With regard to the expected Alpine fault zone, a set of several reflectors dipping 40-56° to the southeast are identified in a ~600 m wide zone between depths of 0.2 and 1.2 km that is interpreted to be the minimum extent of the damage zone. Different approaches image one distinct reflector dipping at 40°, which is interpreted to be the main Alpine Fault reflector. This reflector is only ~100 m ahead from the lower end of the borehole. At shallower depths (z<0.5 km), additional reflectors are identified as fault segments and generally have steeper dips up to 56°. About 1 km south of the drill site, a major fault is identified at a depth of 0.1-0.5 km that might be caused by the regional tectonics interacting with local valley structures. A good correlation is observed among the separate seismic data sets and with geological results such as the borehole stratigraphy and the expected surface trace of the fault. In conclusion, several structural details of the fault zone and its environment are seismically imaged and show the complexity of the Alpine Fault at the Whataroa Valley. Thus, a detailed seismic characterization clarifies the subsurface structures, which is crucial to understand the transpressive fault’s tectonic processes.

It contributes significantly to the gross economic product and general employment. Even more important, it provides many of the basic needs of the society (e. g. housing, infrastructure, protection from natural hazards). The concept of “Industry 4.0” or “Smart Production” has not yet made significant progress in the civil engineering industry. The design, build and operate processes are still widely dominated by the exchange of printed documents and drawings. Most objects (buildings and other constructions) are unique, and a large part of the production still requires a large amount of manual labor. As-built documentation and quality assurance are often neglected. Civil engineering is among the industries sectors with the lowest level of digitalization and the lowest gain in productivity. However, this is going to change. In the past decade, several drivers have challenged the ways clients, contractors, and authorities currently operate. These drivers include but are not limited to an increasing demand for serialization and automatization, the mandatory introduction of “Building Information Modeling” (BIM) in public procurement, the availability of construction equipment with sensors and digital interfaces or emerging automated construction technologies such as 3D-printing. NDE (referred to as NDT-CE in this sector), after a rapid technological development in the last two decades, plays an increasing role in quality assurance, condition assessment and monitoring of structures. However, with very few exceptions, applications are mostly non-standardized and performed only at selected sites. To change this, the NDT-CE community including manufacturers, service providers, clients and the scientific community must work consistently on open data formats, interfaces to BIM, standardization and validated ways for a quantitative use of the results in the assessment of constructions.

BAM offered the idea test structure BLEIB bridge for experiment. This prestressed concrete bridge model benefits us to have the various structural condition with different pre-stress. The passive and active monitoring were carried out. The seismic interferometry technique was considered to extract the virtual wave propagation in the structure comparable to the real impulse response excited by the hammer impact. Meanwhile the ultrasonic measurement was performed during the monitoring. The coda wave interferometry (CWI) was applied to investigate the wave velocity variation in two kinds of scale recordings at different prestressed states. The experimental result approves that the seismological noise- based methods are the appropriate evaluation tool for the measurement data.

The aim is to analyse the sealing structures made of salt concrete concerning potential cracks, delamination, and embedded objects. A first prototype of the probe uses 12 individual dry point contact (DPC) shear horizontal wave transducers separated by equidistant transmitter/receiver arrays, each consisting of six individual transducers. It is operated with a commercial handheld ultrasonic testing device used in civil engineering. In order to increase the generated sound pressure of the borehole probe, the number of transducers will be increased to 32 for the novel probe. In addition, a time-controlled excitation of the individual probes is used to steer a focused sound beam to a certain angle and focus on a certain distance based on calculated time delays. Hence, the sensitive test volume is more limited, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the received signals improved. This paper presents the validation of the newly developed phased array borehole probe by beam simulation and experimentally on a half-cylindrical test specimen to investigate the directional characteristics. In combination with geophysical reconstruction method, an optimised radiation characteristic of the probe, an improved signal quality and thus an increased reliability of the results in imaging is expected. This is of great importance to construct safe sealing structures needed for radioactive or toxic waste disposal.

T1 - Non-Destructive Multi-Method Assessment of Steel Fiber Orientation in Concrete N2 - Integration of fiber reinforcement in high-performance cementitious materials has become widely applied in many fields of construction. One of the most investigated advantages of steel Fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) is the deceleration of crack growth and hence its improved sustainability. Additional benefits are associated with its structural properties, as fibers can significantly increase the ductility and the tensile strength of concrete. In some applications it is even possible to entirely replace the conventional reinforcement, leading to significant logistical and environmental benefits. Fiber reinforcement can, however, have critical disadvantages and even hinder the Performance of concrete, since it can induce an anisotropic material behavior of the mixture if the fibers are not appropriately oriented. For a safe use of SFRC in the future, reliable non-destructive testing (NDT) methods need to be identified to assess the fibers’ orientation in hardened concrete. In this study, ultrasonic material testing, electrical impedance testing, and X-ray computed tomography have been investigated for this purpose using specially produced samples with biased or random Fiber orientations. We demonstrate the capabilities of each of these NDT techniques for fiber orientation measurements and draw conclusions based on these results about the most promising areas for future research and development.

T1 - Importance of seismic wave frequency in FEM-based dynamic stress and displacement calculations of the earth slope N2 - Reliable assessment of earthen dams’ stability and tailing storage facilities widely used in the mining industry is challenging, particularly under seismic load conditions. In this paper, we propose to take into account the effect of the dominant frequency of seismic load on the stability assessment of tailing/earthen dams. The calculations are performed by finite element modelling (FEM) with the Mohr–Coulomb failure criteria. To separate the frequency content from other dynamic parameters describing the seismic wave, synthetic waveforms with identical amplitude and attenuation characteristics, but differing spectral characteristics have been used. The analysis has been performed for three different slope angles and two scenarios of seismic wave propagation. Consequently, the changes of total displacement and shear stresses depending on the frequencies have been determined and clearly show that lower frequencies cause higher stress levels and displacement. Finally, the response surface methodology has been applied to determine how different parameters affect the slope stability under dynamic load conditions. Overall, this study is a first step to improve the existing methods to assess slope stability when considering seismic load.

The building and construction industry is one of the largest consumers of natural resources. Consequently, there is a particular need for regulations and technologies that help to create closed material cycles. From the technological point of view, such efforts are complicated by the growing material diversity and the amount of composites contained in present and future construction and demolition waste (CDW). Nowadays, simple but proven techniques like manual sorting are mainly used. However, this practice not only poses health risks and dangers to the staff performing the work, but also relies on merely obvious, visually striking differences. Automated, sensor-based sorting of these building materials could complement or replace this practice to improve processing speed, recycling rates, sorting quality, and prevailing health conditions. The preliminary results for the identification of a wide variety of building materials with LIBS are presented.

One such damage is pitting corrosion of the steel reinforcement caused by chloride ingress into the porous concrete structure. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a promising method in civil engineering, which is used for detection of chlorine in concrete structures in addition to conventional methods of wet chemistry. To assess LIBS as a trustful analytical technique, its accuracy and robustness is carefully tested. The presentation will outline the results of the interlaboratory comparison of chlorine quantification in cement paste samples, which was carried out by 12 laboratories in 10 countries. Two sets of samples with chloride content ranging from 0.06-1.95 wt.% in the training set and 0.23-1.51 wt.% in the test sample set (“unknowns”), with additional variations in the type of cement and chlorine source (salt type) were sent to the laboratories. The overall result demonstrates that LIBS is suitable for the quantification of the investigated sample compositions: average relative bias was mostly below 15 %. Considering that the laboratories did not receive instructions on how to perform the analysis or how to process the data, the results can be evaluated as a true status quo of the LIBS technique for this type of analysis.

T1 - Damage Assessment of Civil Structures Using Wave Propagation Analysis and Transmissibility Functions N2 - A common damage detection method in civil engineering is to monitor dynamic characteristics such as natural frequencies and modal shapes, which are directly related to the structural stiffness. However, the discrepancy in measured natural frequencies may result from environmental changes, the soil-structure interaction or effects caused by earthquakes. This makes it difficult to decide whether the local change in structural properties is caused by damage or other factors. To address this challenge and thus improve the current damage detection method, the wave propagation analysis method and the transmissibility relationship were considered. In our study, the wave propagation field in structures was reconstructed by applying the Normalized-Input-Output-Minimization (NIOM) method to vibration recordings. Wave velocities and transmissibility functions were considered as reference values for the damage indicators.

T1 - Detection of Delaminations in Concrete Plates Using a Laser Ablation Impact Echo Technique N2 - This study investigates the non-destructive detection of delaminations in concrete plates using non-contact laser ablation, instead of the conventional hammer excitation, as part of the impact echo method. We performed tests on five concrete specimens of different sizes, two of which contained artificial delaminations. A range of steel ball hammers was used as reference impulse sources, the responses of which were compared with wave excitation generated by a 7 ns pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser with 150 mJ pulse energy. Signals were recorded by surface-mounted accelerometers and two contactless methods: microphones and a laser Doppler vibrometer. The laser generates frequencies across a broad range of frequencies (0 to 150 kHz) but with much less energy than the hammers' narrower frequency spectra; the laser pulse energy transferred into the specimen is 0.07 mJ, corresponding to about 0.5 ‰ of the impulse source energy. Because of this, the thick intact plates' characteristic thickness stretch resonance frequency can be reliably detected by the hammer excitations but not when using laser excitation. However, the laser can excite low-frequency flexural vibration modes over a shallow delamination at 3 cm depth. The low-frequency flexural vibration results are verified by numerical natural frequency analysis.

In principle, the measurement of all elements of the periodic table is possible. System calibrations allow the quantification of element concentrations. In combination with scanner systems, the two-dimensional element distribution can be determined. Even rough surfaces can be measured by online adjustment of the laser focus. To detect element ingress into the concrete, typically cores are taken, cut in half, and LIBS measurements are performed on the cross-section. The high spatial resolution as well as the simultaneous multi-element analysis enables a separate evaluation of the binder-matrix and aggregates. Therefore, the element concentrations can be determined directly related to the cement paste. LIBS measurements are applicable in the laboratory, on-site and also over a distance of several meters. Common applications include the investigation of material deterioration due to the ingress of harmful ions and their interaction in porous building materials. LIBS is able to provide precise input parameters for simulation and modelling of the remaining lifetime of a structure. Besides the identification of materials, also their composition can be determined on hardened concrete, such as the type of cement or type of aggregate. This also involves the identification of environmentally hazardous elements contained in concrete. Another possible application is the detection of the composition of material flows during dismantling. Non-contact NDT for “difficult to assess” structures as an example application through safety glass or in combination with robotics and automation are also possible.

Generally, the measurement of all elements of the periodic table is possible. In particular, light elements such as H, Li, Be, S, C, O, N and halogens can be measured. Calibration with matrix-matching standards allows the quantification of element concentrations. In combination with scanner systems, the two-dimensional element distribution can be determined.

Due to the high spatial resolution of LIBS and the consideration of the heterogeneity of concrete, the determination of precise input parameters for simulation and modelling of the remaining lifetime of a structure is possible. In addition to the identification of materials, it is also possible to assess the composition for example of hardened concrete, which involves the cement or aggregate type used.

T1 - Extension of the Boltzmann plot method for multiplet emission lines N2 - The Boltzmann plot method is widely used to determine the temperature of laser induced plasma. It involves the use of individual lines that are not easy to find in complex spectra and/or in the spectral range available. If the number of such lines is not enough to build a reliable Boltzmann plot, overlapping lines are often used, which are separated by software. However, line separation is a rather imprecise procedure, which, in addition, requires significant computational costs. This study proposes an extension of the Boltzmann plot method that allows a specific group of unresolved lines to be included in a Boltzmann plot without the need to separate them. This group of lines are multiplets, lines of the same element with similar upper and lower transition states. The multiplet lines along with the individual lines are included in the algorithm, which also includes a correction for self-absorption and is used to determine the plasma temperature. The algorithm is tested on synthetic spectra which are consistent with the model of a homogeneous isothermal plasma in local thermodynamic equilibrium and is shown to be superior to the standard Boltzmann plot method both in more accurate determination of the plasma temperature and in a significant reduction in the computational time. The advantages and disadvantages of the method are discussed in the context of its applications in laser induced breakdown spectroscopy.

T1 - Reliability assessment of existing concrete bridges with geometrical NDT results - Case studies N2 - The results of and the validity in reliability assessment of existing bridges essentially depend on the information available about the considered system. Information about the actual condition as well as structural and material characteristics can be observed on-site to refine the computation models used in assessment. Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods for concrete structures are capable of reconstructing missing, questioned, or inconsistent as-built plans. This contribution summarizes recent developments within the scope of the national pre-standardization project “ZfPStatik”, which aims to prepare a guideline about NDT-supported structural analyses. The focus is on the purposeful and explicit utilization of geometrical tendon and reinforcement bar positions (measured on-site using the ultrasound echo and ground penetrating radar (GPR) techniques) in probabilistic reliability analyses — shown by means of real case studies. The well-established first order reliability method is applied to different concrete bridges, which are typical for the German road bridge stock, to demonstrate the utility of incorporating quality-evaluated NDT-results in terms of changes in structural reliability.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil bei der Nachrechnung besteht gegenüber dem Neubauentwurf in der Möglichkeit, Informationen über den tatsächlichen Zustand der Bauwerke zu erheben – im Idealfall ohne wesentliche destruktive Eingriffe in die Bausubstanz. Deren Verwendung bei der Zuverlässigkeitsanalyse dient der Zuschärfung von Berechnungsmodellen und ermöglicht realitätsnähere Bauwerksbeurteilungen. Die Einbeziehung von Messdaten bei der Zuverlässigkeitsbewertung setzt jedoch voraus, dass die Qualität der gemessenen Informationen bekannt und deren Vergleichbarkeit sichergestellt ist. Darüber hinaus sollte die Relevanz der messbaren Informationen beziffert werden, um wirtschaftliche Inspektionen am Bauwerk gezielt durchführen zu können. In diesem Beitrag wird am Beispiel von Ultraschall- und Radarmessungen an einer Spannbetonbrücke gezeigt, wie ZfP-Ergebnisse bei der Zuverlässigkeitsbewertung von Bestandsbauwerken mit probabilistischen Methoden genutzt werden können. Betrachtet werden innere geometrische Abmessungen wie die Lage der Bewehrung oder von Spanngliedern. Die Relevanz der messbaren Informationen wird anhand von Sensitivitätsanalysen beziffert. Messunsicherheitsbetrachtungen dienen der Bezifferung der Qualität der gemessenen Informationen und der Gewährleistung deren Vergleichbarkeit.

T1 - Investigation of a method for the correction of self-absorption by Planck function in laser induced breakdown spectroscopy N2 - The electron density and temperature of a laser-induced plasma can be determined from the width and intensity of the spectral lines, provided that the corresponding optical transitions are optically thin. However, the lines in laser induced plasma are often self-absorbed. One of the methods of correction of this effect is based on the use of the Planck function and an iterative numerical calculation of the plasma temperature. In this study, the method is further explored and its inherent errors and limitations are evaluated. For this, synthetic spectra are used that fully correspond to the assumed conditions of a homogeneous isothermal plasma at local thermodynamic equilibrium. Based on the error analysis, the advantages and disadvantages of the method are discussed in comparison with other methods of self-absorption correction.

The advantages of LIBS over standard methods are the possibility of multi-element analysis, measurement speed, spatially resolved measurements, and minimal sample preparation. The spatially resolved measurements of LIBS allow the assessment of the heterogeneity of the concrete by measuring separately the chemical composition of the aggregates and the binder matrix. The latter is particularly relevant because the determined elemental distribution can be directly related to the binder matrix. This is not possible with standard methods, since the material is homogenized to powder during sample preparation stage and the determined concentration is thus related to the total mass. In addition to the use of LIBS for the specific analysis of individual harmful ions, LIBS can also be used to estimate the concrete composition and thus determine, for example, the type of cement used. Corresponding information are relevant for the estimation of the remaining service life and for the preparation of a maintenance concept. In recent years, LIBS has been increasingly used in civil engineering. Currently, however, it is primarily used in research institutions and only occasionally in building materials laboratories. Special commercial devices have also been developed, which greatly simplify the application due to the high degree of automation. Mobile LIBS systems allow on-site application. A central point, which limits the use of LIBS in the commercial sector, is the lack of norms and standards. Therefore, within the framework of a project funded by the German government, work has been carried out on the preparation of a leaflet on quantitative chlorine determination in concrete, which will be published this year. In interlaboratory comparisons the robustness and accuracy for the practical application was demonstrated. LIBS also has great potential in the recycling of construction waste in conjunction with hyperspectral sensors. This issue is currently being addressed in a national project. During the presentation, the state of the art of LIBS in civil engineering will be presented, next steps will be discussed, and future challenges will be outlined.

In concrete structures, pittingcorrosion of the reinforcement is the predominant deterioration mechanism affecting serviceability and eventually structural performance. Determination of quantitative chloride ingress is not only necessary to obtain valuable information on the current condition of a structure, but the data obtained can also be used to predict future developments and the associated risks. An overview of the progress and the possibilities of the application of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for concrete analysis in daily civil engineering practice is given. High-resolution 2D measurements of drill cores to determine the penetration of harmful species into concrete is presented.

Automated systems are already commercially available capable of scanning surfaces with a resolution of up to 0.1 mm within a few minutes. In addition to possible applications in R&D, LIBS is also used for practical applications in building materials laboratories and even on-site. In view of ageing infrastructure facilities, a reliable assessment of the condition of concrete structures is of increasing interest. For concrete structures, the ingress of potential harmful ions is affecting the serviceability and eventually structural performance. Pitting corrosion induced by penetrating chlorides is the dominant deterioration mechanism. Condition assessment based on frequently performed chloride profiling can be useful to identify the extent and evolution of chloride ingress. This could prove to be more economical than extensive repairs, especially for important infrastructure facilities. Currently the most common procedure for determining the chloride content is wet chemical analysis with standard resolution of 10 mm. The heterogeneity is not considered. LIBS is an economical alternative for determining the chloride content at depth intervals of 1 mm or less. It provides 2D distributions of multiple elements and can locate spots with higher concentrations. The results are directly correlated to the mass of binder and can also be performed on-site with a mobile LIBS-System. The application of a LIBS-system is presented. Calibration is required for quantitative analysis. Concrete cores were drilled, sliced and analyzed to determine the 2D-distribution of harmful elements. By comparing the chloride ingress and the carbonation, the interaction of both processes can be visualized in a measurement that takes less than 10 minutes for a 50 mm x 100 mm drill core. A leaflet on the use of LIBS for the chloride ingress assessment has been completed.

A1 - et al., T1 - Interlaboratory comparison for quantitative chlorine analysis in cement pastes with laser induced breakdown spectroscopy N2 - Concrete structures experience severe damage during service, for example due to pitting corrosion of rebars caused by the ingress of chlorine (Cl) into the porous concrete structure. The ingress can be monitored using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), a recently introduced civil engineering technique used to detect Cl in concrete structures in addition to conventional wet chemistry methods. The key advantages of LIBS are high spatial resolution, which is important when analyzing heterogeneous concrete samples, as well as the almost complete absence of sample preparation. To assess LIBS as a reliable analytical method, its accuracy and robustness must be carefully tested. This paper presents the results of an interlaboratory comparison on the analysis of Cl in cement paste samples conducted by 12 laboratories in 10 countries. Two sets of samples were prepared with Cl content ranging from 0.06 to 1.95 wt% in the training set and 0.23–1.51 wt% in the test set, with additional variations in the type of cement and Cl source (salt type). The overall result shows that LIBS is suitable for the quantification of the studied samples: the average relative error was generally below 15%. The results demonstrate the true status quo of the LIBS method for this type of analysis, given that the laboratories were not instructed on how to perform the analysis or how to process the data.

T1 - Non-destructively Measurable Quantities Relevant to Reliability Assessment of Existing Concrete Bridges – Case Studies N2 - In reliability assessment of existing bridges, collected information about the structure can be utilized to modify partial safety factors and to refine characteristic values individually. In this way, uncertainties covered in initial calculation models and arising from assumptions can be reduced as well as biases identified and corrected. This allows for more realistic assessments and more appropriate decisions on actions to be taken. However, the on-site observation of information is generally associated with certain costs. For this reason, an efficient data-supported reassessment requires that only the individually relevant testing tasks are solved. Additional sensitivity analyses can further be used to specify the requirements on certain inspections, such as the testing result quality to be achieved, in order to avoid too imprecise or too expensive measurements on-site. In this contribution, the methodology for the demand-actuated definition of measurement objectives is demonstrated using the example of non-destructive concrete testing methods and findings from reassessments of two prestressed concrete bridges. Each case study includes the semi-probabilistic identification of structural weak points in ultimate and serviceability limit states, a comparison with respective probabilistic sensitivity analyses, and the subsequent derivation of parameters that are a) measurable and b) highly relevant in the individual reliability analyses.

T1 - Reassessment of Existing Concrete Bridges with Full Probabilistic Methods – Case Studies and Discussion of Relevant Input Parameters N2 - This article presents two case studies for a full-probabilistic assessment of existing concrete bridges combined with the use of the finite element method for the evaluation of the internal forces. Since the structures already exist, additional information about material parameters and loading conditions can be collected. With a sensitivity analysis, the contribution of each parameter to the total uncertainty is examined and the relevance of their actual value and variation is shown. The first case study is a single-span reinforced concrete frame bridge on the German highway A92 constructed in the year 1985. With a span of around 5 m, but a width of 27 m and a skewness of 70 gon, the bridge is modelled as a three-dimensional finite element model. The second case study is a two-span reinforced concrete frame bridge from 1986 with span lengths of about 7,50 m each. The superstructure is a 45 cm thick slab and the base plate has a thickness of 80 cm. The assessment is performed based on the semi-probabilistic safety concept according to the codes first and secondly with a full-probabilistic calculation. In this article the selection of parameters for the relevant input data are presented and discussed. The results of the sensitivity analysis are used for the setup of measurements to acquire important data for the modelling in the critical limit states.

Um die Abbildung der Ultraschalldaten von komplexen Betonstrukturen zu verbessern, haben wir die Reverse-Time Migration (RTM) aus der Seismik auf die zerstörungsfreie Prüfung im Bauwesen übertragen. In einer Vorstudie haben wir einen 2D akustischen RTM Code verwendet und an realen Ultraschalldaten, die an einer Betonfundamentplatte aufgenommen wurden, getestet. Im Vergleich mit dem herkömmlichen Rekonstruktionsalgorithmus für Ultraschalldaten, der Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique (SAFT), zeigten die akustischen RTM-Ergebnisse eine deutliche Verbesserung in der Abbildung der inneren Struktur der Betonfundamentplatte. Vertikale Reflektoren konnten rekonstruiert werden, was mit dem herkömmlichen Abbildungsverfahren nicht möglich war. RTM ist, im Gegensatz zu SAFT, eine wellengleichungsbasierte Migrationsmethode und beruht auf der numerischen Lösung der vollständigen Wellengleichung. Die Vorteile sind, dass der Algorithmus sämtliche Informationen des Wellenfeldes verwendet und daher verschiedene Welleneffekte wie z.B. Multipathing berücksichtigt werden können. Die RTM bietet damit die Möglichkeit auch stark geneigte Reflektoren sowie Streukörper mit komplexen Geometrien darzustellen. Ein Nachteil ist jedoch die lange Rechenzeit und der hohe Bedarf an Speicherkapazität. Ein RTM-Algorithmus, der die elastische Wellengleichung anstatt der akustischen verwendet (wie in unserer Vorstudie angewandt), hat das Potenzial, die Abbildungsergebnisse noch weiter zu optimieren. Das liegt daran, dass unsere Ultraschallmessdaten durch Anregung elastischer Wellen generiert werden. In einem ersten Schritt haben wir zwei elastische 2D-RTM-Algorithmen an synthetischen Ultraschalldaten getestet. Diese wurden mit einem Betonmodell, bestehend aus mehreren Stufen und kreisförmigen Lufteinschlüssen, erzeugt. In einem zweiten Schritt wurden reale Ultraschalldaten mit Scherwellenprüfköpfen an einer Betonstufenplatte mit integrierten Hüllrohren aufgenommen. Die Auswertung der realen Daten mit unserem elastischen RTM-Code war ebenfalls erfolgreich. Wir konnten die Abbildungsqualität der Stufen und Hüllrohre im Vergleich zur akustischen RTM und SAFT verbessern.

Important applications include thickness measurements, geometry determination, the localization and characterization of built-in components as well as the detection of quality issues (cracks, honeycombing, low concrete strength). To improve ultrasonic data imaging of complicated structures in concrete, we transferred a seismic migration technique, the Reverse Time Migration (RTM), to non-destructive testing in civil engineering. In a preliminary study, we tested a 2D acoustic RTM algorithm on measured ultrasonic echo data acquired at a concrete foundation slab. Compared to the conventional used synthetic aperture focusing technique algorithms (SAFT) for ultrasonic data reconstruction, our acoustic RTM results showed a significant improvement in imaging the interior structure of the concrete slab. Vertical reflectors were reconstructed which was not possible by traditional imaging. In contrast to SAFT, RTM is a wavefield-continuation method in time and uses the full wave equation. RTM is, thus, able to include multiple reflections and to handle multi-pathing as well as many other complex situations. As a drawback RTM requires extensive computing power and memory capacity. Nevertheless, due to progresses in parallel processing and other computational technologies RTM has become appealing for the application in the field of non-destructive testing. An RTM algorithm, which uses the full elastic wave equation instead of the full acoustic one (as applied in our preliminary work) has the potential to optimize the imaging results even further. This is due to the fact, that our ultrasonic measurement data are generated by exciting elastic waves. Thus, in a first step, two 2D elastic RTM algorithms were tested on synthetic ultrasonic echo data generated with a concrete model consisting of several steps and circular shaped air inclusions. In addition, two imaging conditions were evaluated to reduce migration artifacts. Our synthetic elastic RTM results showed an enhancement in imaging the features inside the test model compared to acoustic RTM and SAFT. In a second step, we acquired ultrasonic measurement data at a concrete test specimen consisting of three steps and four air filled tendon ducts. The evaluation of the real data with our elastic RTM code was also successful and the reconstruction of the geometries of the steps and tendon ducts could be improved. With our study we have shown that elastic RTM is a step forward for ultrasonic testing in civil engineering.

Among these are a significant proportion of older prestressed concrete bridges. Given the lack of documentation on the reinforcing layout, such structures cannot be load rated analytically and are often subject to engineering judgement as the basis for rating. Otherwise, the typical approach for load rating such bridges is to conduct costly proof load testing and destructive probing together with making conservative assumptions. Therefore, any improvement to current practices will benefit DOTs and taxpayers alike. Accurately reconstructed 3D images of the girders to reflect the internal reinforcement could mitigate the need for costly, if not impractical, destructive testing and proof load testing, and help reduce dependency on conservative assumptions. This study examines a comprehensive NDE approach using ultrasonic tomography and GPR to aid in gathering structural information for load rating purposes. Different types of AASHTO and hollow core girders were tested.

T1 - Evaluation of boundary and material influences on the dynamic electromechanical impedance response of the embedded PZT sensor in concrete N2 - The article explores the material and structural size effects on the electrical impedance response of the embedded PZT sensors which are used as an sensors/actuator in the smart sensing concrete. An embedded sensor for use in concrete monitoring is developed using Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT). The electrical impedance (EI) response of the sensor placed inside concrete cubes of varying sizes are recorded for an applied electrical input of varying frequency. The dynamic response of the embedded PZT sensor to the applied electrical input is determined by the mechanical impedance offered by the surrounding medium. In specimens of finite size, the mechanical impedance to the motion of the PZT is influenced by the combination of dynamic material resistance and structural stiffness (size of the structure). The current study examined the effects of material resistance and size of structure on the EI response of the PZT sensor embedded in concrete medium. The influence of the size of the medium from small-sized specimens is seen in the form of secondary peaks, identified as structural peaks, on the resonance spectrum of the embedded PZT sensor. The structural peaks on the EI response are very dominant in the concrete cube of small sizes. Magnitude and intensity of these structural peaks attenuate with an increase in the size of the concrete cube. Also, the EI response from the smaller-sized specimens registered a significant leftward shift in the spectrum. The observations from the numerical simulations also showed the mechanical impedance of the surrounding concrete medium to the motion of the PZT also increases and converges at 150 mm. At sizes below 150 mm, the structural effects that are influenced by the specimen boundary must be separated to access the material properties of the concrete medium from the measured EI response of an embedded PZT sensor. At sizes, larger than 150 mm, the dynamic motion of the PZT patch and the measured EI response of the PZT patch depend only on the dynamic material properties of the concrete medium around the sensor. The zone of influence and its importance in standardization of PZT sensor for SHM of concrete structures is discussed.

The transducers that have been developed are equipped with various levels of protection in order to enhance their resilience in an alkaline environment and mitigate the risk of short-circuits. The transducers are operated in actuator-receiver mode. The obtained ultrasonic signal is analyzed in frequency domain. The initial and final setting time estimated from calorimetry measurements demonstrated a strong agreement with the proposed frequency domain approach. The observed behavior of concrete in wave transmission measurements exhibits similarities to that of an electronic filter. Initially, concrete behaves similar to a low-pass filter, but as time elapses, it transitions into a high-pass filter.

T1 - Real-time monitoring of concrete properties using an embedded smart piezoelectric sensor with active and passive sensing abilities N2 - Concrete undergoes physical and chemical changes from the time of casting. These changes in early stage of hydration of concrete, highly influence the final properties and overall performance of concrete structures. Comprehensive health monitoring sensors can help to improve the quality and performance of concrete structures by providing detailed and accurate real-time information about the properties and condition of concrete at different stages of its life cycle. In this study, an embedded smart PZT (Lead Zirconate and Titanium) sensor is developed and its potential for comprehensive health monitoring of concrete structures is explored. To protect the PZT sensor from short-circuiting and alkaline environment, a robust and sensitive protection scheme is developed. The developed embedded smart PZT sensor was placed in the concrete during casting to infer the in-situ properties of concrete through active and passive sensing techniques. Through active sensing techniques Electrical Impedance (EI) and wave propagation (WP), the hydration and damage are monitored, respectively; through passive sensing techniques vibration, and acoustic emission (AE), the development of Young’s modulus and cracking in concrete are monitored. The methodology to infer the changes inworkability, complete set behavior, property development, and crack opening in concrete structures is developed. The reproducibility of all these techniques using the developed embedded smart PZT sensor is established. Since the developed sensor is capable of both active and passive sensing, it allows for a more comprehensive and flexible approach to health monitoring. This contributes to increased data accuracy, reliability, and a more holistic understanding of the concrete structure’s condition.

Multistatische Arrays sind am Markt verfügbar und ausgelegt für die Prüfung großflächiger Betonstrukturen. In einer Machbarkeitsstudie wird überprüft, ob eine Zustandserfassung an schlanken Spannbetonschwellen möglich ist. B70-Schwellen und B90-Weichenschwellen wurden hierfür im Labor, im Schienennetz und während der Wiederaufbereitung mit dem Ultraschallverfahren untersucht. Fokus ist die Detektion von Sickenrisse, Kopfrissen und Treibrissen im Bereich des Schwellenkopfes. Die rekonstruierten Ultraschalldaten zeigen für intakt-klassifizierte Schwellen ein reproduzierbares Rückwandecho und weitere Reflexionen an den Schwellenaußenkanten. Die Ausprägung der Amplitude variiert je nach Degradation durch Belastung und Verwitterung. Defekt-klassifizierte Schwellen mit z. B. Kopfrissen oder unterseitigen Abplatzungen unterscheiden sich im Signalbild deutlich durch oberflächennahe Reflexionen bzw. verschobene Rückwandechos.

Being able to evaluate the hydration is of high interest for the use of both conventional and more climate-friendly building materials. The experimental monitoring is based on temperature or moisture measurements. The first needs adiabatic conditions, which can only be achieved in laboratory. The latter is often measured comparing the weight of the material sample before and after oven drying, which is time-consuming. This study investigates the moisture content of two cement-based and two calcium sulphate based mixtures for the first 90 days by using the calcium carbide method and oven drying at 40 °C and 105 °C (Darr method). Thereby, the amount of chemically bound water is determined to derive the degree of hydration. The calcium carbide measurements highly coincide with oven drying at 40 °C. The calcium carbide method is therefore evaluated as a suitable alternative to the time-consuming Darr drying. The prompt results are seen as a remarkable advantage and can be obtained easily in laboratory as well as in the field.

In the past, many bridges and road structures have been neglected, often resulting in traffic congestion, road closure, and increased repair costs. This research is concerned with the development of a system to improve the challenge of maintenance and early detection of damage, particularly moisture penetration and corrosion of steel reinforced concrete components. The objective is to develop a method that will also work after 30 years and longer. Many new IoT solutions are equipped with internal energy storage elements (accumulators or batteries) which are inappropriate here, since most relevant signs of concrete degradation occur after decades, where the functioning of such elements are more than questionable. The presented technology approach uses radio-frequency identification (RFID) and enables connectivity to sensors. It offers the advantage of an passive, completely independent energy supply without any energy storage components. Since the system should be permanently embedded in concrete, it is crucial to develop a long-term stable device which is adapted to the environmental influences of the structure, e.g., long-term resistance in very alkaline environment of pH 13. In numerous experiments, the robustness of the system was tested and evaluated. Various tests with encapsulations to protect the electronics were performed, and for long-term validation different concrete specimens were instrumented with RFID-sensor-systems. Their operating time is now around two years and investigations for signs of fatigue and damage to the encapsulation and the electronics are ongoing.

The knowledge gap regarding a structure to be assessed can be successively filled by individually purposeful observations on site. This paper gives an overview of an approach for utilizing nondestructively gathered measurement results in reliability assessment of existing structures. An essential part of measurement-based stochastic modeling of basic variables is the calculation of measurement uncertainties, which serves to establish confidence in measurement, to ensure the comparability of unambiguously expressed measurement results, and to quantify the quality of the measured information. Regarding the current discourse on how to treat information collected on-site in the context of assessment, the authors recommend that measurement uncertainty becomes an uncertainty component mandatorily to be represented in measurement-based stochastic models. The main steps of the proposed concept are presented, and the advantages of its application are emphasized by means of a prestressed concrete bridge as case study. The bridge is assessed regarding the serviceability limit state decompression using ultrasonic and radar data measured at the structure.

A major obstacle to implementing ACU methods is the significant signal power loss at the air–specimen and transducer–air interfaces. The loss between transducer and air can be eliminated by using recently developed fluidic transducers. These transducers use pressurized air and a natural flow instability to generate high sound power signals. Due to this self-excited flow instability, the individual pulses are dissimilar in length, amplitude, and phase. These amplitude and angle modulated pulses offer the great opportunity to further increase the signal-to-noise ratio with pulse compression methods. In practice, multi-input multi-output (MIMO) setups reduce the time required to scan the specimen surface, but demand high pulse discriminability. By applying envelope removal techniques to the individual pulses, the pulse discriminability is increased allowing only the remaining phase information to be targeted for analysis. Finally, semi-synthetic experiments are presented to verify the applicability of the envelope removal method and highlight the suitability of the fluidic transducer for MIMO setups.

Their pore networks consists of a wide range of pore sizes, including mesoand macropores. Within such a pore network, material moisture plays a crucial role in almost all transport processes. In the hygroscopic range, the pores are partially saturated and liquid water is only located at the pore fringe due to physisorption. Therefore, material parameters such as porosity or median pore diameter are inadequate to predict material moisture and moisture transport. To quantify the spatial distribution of material moisture, Hillerborg’s adsorption Theory is used to predict the water layer thickness for different pore geometries. This is done for all pore sizes, including those in the lower nanometre range. Based on this approach, it is shown that the material moisture is almost completely located in mesopores, although the pore network is highly dominated by macropores. Thus, mesopores are mainly responsible for the moisture storage capacity, while macropores determine the moisture transport capacity, of an amorphous material. Finally, an electrical analogical circuit is used as a model to predict the diffusion coefficient based on the pore-size distribution, including physisorption.

The time-consuming and potentially damaging procedure of applying a liquid couplant between specimen and transducer can be avoided by using air-coupled ultrasound. However, to obtain accurate ToF results, the waveform and travel time of the acoustic signal through the air, which are influenced by the ambient conditions, need to be considered. The placement of microphones as signal receivers is restricted to locations where they do not affect the sound field. This study presents a novel method for in-air ranging and ToF determination that is non-invasive and robust to changing ambient conditions or waveform variations. The in-air travel time was determined by utilizing the azimuthal directivity of a laser Doppler vibrometer operated in refracto-vibrometry (RV) mode. The time of entry of the acoustic signal was determined using the autocorrelation of the RV signal. The same signal was further used as a reference for determining the ToF through the specimen in transmission mode via cross-correlation. The derived signal processing procedure was verified in experiments on a polyamide specimen. Here, a ranging accuracy of <0.1 mm and a transmission ToF accuracy of 0.3μs were achieved. Thus, the proposed method enables fast and accurate non-invasive ToF measurements that do not require knowledge about transducer characteristics or ambient conditions.

Air-coupled ultrasonic (ACU) measurement techniques promise to reduce measurement time. However, the signal quality suffers from large specific impedance mismatch at the transducer-air and air-specimen interface. Additionally, large pressure amplitudes are necessary for the penetration depth required in NDT-CE applications. To address the specific requirements of ultrasonic testing in NDT-CE, a robust ACU transducer was developed, that generates ultrasound by quickly switching a pressurized air flow. The simple design of the fluidic transducer makes the device maintenance free and resilient against harsh environmental conditions. Since the signal is generated by aeroacoustics, there is no specific impedance mismatch between the transducer and the surrounding air. The ultrasonic signal exhibits frequencies in the 30-60 kHz range and is therefore well suited to penetrate heterogenous materials such as concrete. This contribution gives an introduction in the working principle and signal characteristics of the fluidic transducer. Its applicability to measurements in concrete is verified. A detailed outlook is given to discuss the future potential of fluidic ultrasonic actuators.

Für die Ermittlung der Porengrößenverteilung muss die gemessene T2-Relaxationszeitenverteilung mit dem Parameter Oberflächenrelaxivität (OR) umgerechnet werden. Ist dieser Parameter für das zu untersuchende Medium unbekannt, kann dieser mithilfe von Vergleichsverfahren abgeschätzt werden. Dabei kommen z. B. Gassorption, Quecksilberporosimetrie (MIP), Dünnschliff-Mikroskopie oder µ-Computer-Tomographie (µ-CT) zum Einsatz. Da die verschiedenen Verfahren allerdings unterschiedliche Auflösungsgrenzen aufweisen und auf verschiedenen physikalischen Prinzipien beruhen, können die ermittelten ORs für ein Medium stark variieren. Um ein besseres Verständnis für die OR und die Einflüsse der Vergleichsverfahren zu bekommen, wurden 19 verschiedene Sandsteintypen untersucht. Die OR wurde zum einen basierend auf der spezifischen inneren Oberfläche aus der dynamischen Dampfsorption (DVS) und der Gassorption abgeleitet. Zum anderen wurden die Relaxationszeitenverteilungen durch manuelles Anpassen der OR derart in Porengrößenverteilungen umgerechnet, sodass es eine Übereinstimmung mit den Porengrößenverteilungen aus MIP und/oder µ-CT gibt. Die Umrechnung von Relaxationszeitverteilungen in eine Porengrößenverteilung berücksichtigt dabei sowohl fast- als auch slow-diffusion. Insgesamt ergab sich für die Sandsteine ein breites Spektrum an ORs, bei dem die über die innere spezifische Oberfläche ermittelten ORs andere Größenordnungen aufwiesen (< 10 µm/s), als bei dem Vergleich mit MIP oder µ-CT (bis 600 µm/s). Die mit MIP und µ-CT ermittelten Werten lagen dabei um einen Faktor von 1 bis 30 auseinander. Dieser umfangreiche Datensatz, der vier verschiedene Vergleichsverfahren einbezieht, soll neue Erkenntnisse in der Charakterisierung von porösen Materialien (z. B. bezüglich der Oberflächenrauigkeit) und in der Ursache für die starke Variation der OR ermöglichen. Durch das Berücksichtigen von fast- als auch slow-diffusion, können dabei sogar Daten in eine Porengrößenverteilung umgerechnet werden, bei denen das fast-diffusion-Kriterium nach Brownstein und Tarr nicht erfüllt ist. Außerdem ergibt sich aus der Berücksichtigung des slow-diffusion-Regimes ein neues Verständnis für die obere Auflösungsgrenze von NMR. T2 - 82.

Several materials have a significant number of micropores in the lower nanometre range leading to a reduction of gas diffusion (Knudsen effect). In the case of partial pore saturation during adsorption, the available pore space is further reduced, as is the gas diffusion. In this study, the influence of partially saturated pores on the Knudsen effect and on the gas diffusion is quantified. Three different pore geometries are investigated (slit, cylindrical and spherical pores) and three different types of pore size distribution, including a broad equal distribution, three narrow normal distributions and two measured distributions of concrete. Besides the intensive computation of the exact pore saturation, a simplified model with low computational requirements is suggested. This study shows that the influence of the water layer thickness on the effective diffusion becomes significant for pore radii below 50 nm and the assumed pore geometry is important. At the end, the overall effect is quantified for an amorphous material with most pore radii below 30 nm. At a moisture level of 50% relative humidity, the effective diffusion is reduced by 35% due to partial saturation.

In conventional construction methods, a sample is taken to be representative for one material batch. However, in 3DCP continuous mixing is used which results in variations during the mixing process. Therefore, one sample is not representative for the entire structure. This leads to the necessity of continuous and real-time process monitoring. This study focuses on the variations of pressure and temperature which are caused by changes in the material due to the ongoing mixing process. Changes in material, which is transported downstream, are influencing sensor signals in different positions with a time delay. In the following, the data is analysed to investigate if the changing material and the so caused change in pressure can be used to calculate volume flow.

Mainly in materials research and especially in the field of non-destructive testing in civil engineering it is increasingly used. Scientific questions about and based on NMR meanwhile cover a broad spectrum. To give an overview, we have reviewed various studies dealing with the determination of moisture contents and parameters such as the pore-size distribution, surface relaxivity, porosity, etc. In some papers, the monitoring of moisture transport in connection with degradation processes or admixtures was the main objective. In other papers, NMR was used for pore space analysis or even applied on site to assess the state of conservation of cultural heritage. Building materials that have been investigated in the presented studies are for example cement, concrete, woods, sandstones etc. In this paper, short descriptions and the significant results of the reviewed articles are summarized and their measurement problems and discrepancies are pointed out. A special feature of this review article is the concise tabular compilation of determined 𝑇1 and 𝑇2 relaxation times, as well as of surface relaxivity values for various materials and components. Finally, relevant aspects are summed up and conclusions about the increasing potential of NMR relaxometry for investigations of porous building materials are drawn, followed by an outlook about future applications and the need for technical development.

T1 - Bewertung von Bestandsbauwerken mit gemessenen Daten - Teil 2: Berechnung der Tragwerkszuverlässigkeit unter Einbeziehung der ZfP-Messergebnisse T1 - Reassessment of existing structures based on measured data - Part 2: Structural reliability analyses using NDT results N2 - Durch die Einbeziehung von gemessenen Daten bei der Bewertung von bestehenden Bauwerken können Unsicherheiten bei der Beurteilung des Tragverhaltens reduziert werden, ohne das normative Zuverlässigkeitsniveau einzuschränken. Informationen sind die wesentliche Grundlage für die Analyse der Zuverlässigkeit von Tragwerken. Umso wichtiger ist die Kenntnis über die Präzision und die Richtigkeit der verwendeten Informationen. Aus messtechnischer Sicht kann ein Messwert, dem keine Messunsicherheit beigeordnet wurde, als wertlos erachtet werden. Liegt ein vollständig dokumentiertes Messergebnis vor, so ist die Qualität der gemessenen Information bekannt und deren Vergleichbarkeit gewährleistet. In diesem Beitrag wird am Beispiel einer Spannbetonbrücke und zweier Grenzzustände gezeigt, wie Messergebnisse aus der zerstörungsfreien Prüfung in probabilistische Nachweise von Bestandsbauwerken einfließen können und welche Auswirkungen die Implementierung von gemessenen Daten bei der Bewertung von Bestandsbauwerken haben kann. N2 - Every decision about the reliability of a structure is associated with uncertainties. The reassessment of existing structures remains a major challenge. The decisive difference compared to the design of new structures is the possibility and necessity to collect individual information about the actual condition and properties of the structure. Such knowledge should be appreciated in the reassessment in order to reduce uncertainties and increase the validity of the results. Reliability analyses using measured data require the comparability of measurement results and the evaluation of the quality of the measured information. Both requirements can be met by adequate measurement uncertainty considerations. Besides, the destructive interventions necessary for the measurements should be kept to a minimum. This paper shows how non-destructively gathered measurement results can be incorporated into probabilistic reassessments and which effects the implementation of measured data can have when evaluating existing structures, using a prestressed concrete bridge as a case-study.

T1 - Die Ultraschall-Echomethode – von der Messung zur bautechnischen Kenngröße T1 - Ultrasonic Echo Method - Deriving structural parameters from measured values N2 - Zerstörungsfreie Prüfverfahren liefern wichtige Informationen zur Beurteilung von Bauwerken. Mit ihnen können Materialeigenschaften bestimmt oder die innere Struktur von Bauteilen beschrieben werden. Für letzteres werden in der Regel Volumenverfahren angewandt. Einen besonderen Stellenwert haben in der Praxis die Radar- und die Ultraschall-Echoverfahren. Ihre Anwendung erfordert lediglich eine einseitige Zugänglichkeit zum Bauteil. Zudem lassen sich zahlreiche unterschiedliche Prüfaufgaben lösen. Zum Stand der Technik gehören beispielsweise die Ortung von Bewehrung und Spannkanälen, die Bestimmung der Dicke von Bauteilen oder die Fehlerlokalisierung. In diesem Beitrag wird gezeigt, wie mithilfe von Ultraschall-Echomessungen gesammelte Messwerte in ein quantitatives Messergebnis überführt werden können, das wiederum in ingenieurtechnische Berechnungen einfließen kann. Einleitend werden die Prüfmethode und die Messtechnik erläutert. Anschließend wird das Vorgehen von der Auswertung der Messergebnisse bis zur Bestimmung der bautechnischen Kenngröße – Bauteildicke – gezeigt. Abschließend wird die Methodik an einem Referenzprüfkörper aus Polyamid demonstriert und den Ergebnissen von Messungen an Beton gegenübergestellt.

T1 - Experimental analysis of the acoustic field of an ultrasonic pulse induced by a fluidic switch N2 - Ultrasonic inspection is a common tool for non-destructive testing in civil engineering (NDT-CE). Currently, transducers are coupled directly to the specimen surface, which makes the inspection time-consuming. Air-coupled ultrasound (ACU) transducers are more time-efficient but need a high pressure amplitude as the impedance mismatch between the air and the concrete is high and large penetration depth is needed for the inspection. Current approaches aim at eliminating the impedance mismatch between the transducer and the air to gain amplitude; however, they hardly fulfill the NDT-CE requirements. In this study, an alternative approach for ultrasound generation is presented: the signal is generated by a fluidic switch that rapidly injects a mass flow into the ambience. The acoustic field, the flow field, and their interaction are investigated. It is shown that the signal has dominant frequencies in the range of 35–60 kHz, and the amplitude is comparable to that of a commercial ACU transducer.

Auch wenn zur qualitativen Lokalisierung möglicher Schad- und Risikostellen bereits zahlreiche zerstörungsfreie Verfahren in der Praxis Anwendung finden, besteht ein Mangel an quantitativen Verfahren, die auch bei niedrigen Feuchtegehalten sensitiv sind. Eine Methode zur zerstörungsfreien und quantitativen Bestimmung des Feuchtegehaltes und der effektiven Porosität ist die 1H-Kernspinresonzanzmethode (NMR). Da NMR sensitiv für die molekulare Beweglichkeit von Wasserstoffprotonen ist, lassen sich Informationen über die Bindungsform und -stärke sowie der Umgebung (Porengröße und Mineralzusammensetzung) der Wasserstoffprotonen gewinnen. Obwohl es bereits seit über 20 Jahren mobile NMR-Messeräte gibt, wird NMR heutzutage immer noch weitestgehend im Labor eingesetzt. Dies liegt daran, dass sie aufgrund der verwendeten Permanentmagnete schwer sind und nur äußerst geringe Eindringtiefen ermöglichen. In einer derzeit laufenden Forschungsarbeit wird deshalb ein speziell für Bohrkerne entworfener NMR-Tomograph eingesetzt. Mit seiner minimalen Echozeit von 50 µs lässt sich (abhängig von der Oberflächenrelaxivität) Wasser bis in nanometergroßen Poren erfassen. Um die Sensitivität von NMR bei Teilsättigung zu untersuchen, wurden verschiedene Sandsteinproben in Exsikkatoren mit relativen Luftfeuchten im Bereich von 33 % bis 96 % gelagert. Als Referenzen dienen zum einen das NMR-Signal bei Vollsättigung und zum anderen die Porengrößenverteilung aus Quecksilberporosimetriemessungen (MIP). Um die NMR-Sensitivität zu bewerten, wird die Korrelation der NMR-Amplitude mit den gravimetrisch ermittelten Feuchtegehalten sowie ein Vergleich der Porosität aus NMR und MIP betrachtet. Zu beachten ist in diesem Zusammenhang, dass sowohl die Reduzierung der Wasserfilmdicke als auch die Verkleinerung von Porengrößen zu einer ähnlichen Verkürzung der T2-Relaxationszeit führt. Als Ausblick wird ein Lösungsansatz vorgestellt, bei dem die NMR-Signale mit der Wasserfilmdickenberechnung basierend auf der relativen Luftfeuchte im Material korreliert werden. T2 - 81.

T1 - Erarbeitung einer Norm für einen standardisierten Prozess zur probabilistischen Bewertung von Prüfverfahren N2 - Im DIN-Normenausschuss Materialprüfung (NMP) wurde das Normungsgremium NA 062-08-28 AA „Qualifizierung von zerstörungsfreien Prüfungen“ reaktiviert. Das Ziel der Reaktivierung ist die Erarbeitung einer Norm für einen standardisierten Prozess zur probabilistischen Bewertung von Prüfverfahren. In der zerstörungsfreien Prüfung (ZfP) führt die Ermittlung von Mess- / Prüfunsicherheiten von Prüfverfahren, in normativer Hinsicht in Deutschland und Europa, noch ein Schattendasein. Die Norm ISO IEC 17025 und auch der VDA-Band 5 wurden weiter in Richtung Messunsicherheit entwickelt, allerdings führt ihre Anwendung in der ZfP zu Problemen. Der Arbeitsausschuss NA 062-08-28 AA soll hier den Brückenschlag zwischen Messunsicherheit, objektiver statistischer Bewertung für ZfP-Verfahren und eine weitere Stärkung der probabilistischen Bruchmechanik erreichen. Geplant ist daher die Erarbeitung einer DIN-Norm, welche die Kriterien für eine korrekte Versuchsplanung, ein praktikables Vorgehen zur Bewertung der Prüfergebnisse und die mathematische Überführung in eine Zuverlässigkeitsaussage enthält. Es soll ein Leitfaden erstellt werden, der für ein möglichst breites Branchenspektrum eingesetzt werden kann, unabhängig von den Besonderheiten verschiedener Industriezweige. Dargestellt werden das relevante Normungsgremium sowie der Hintergrund des zu erstellenden Dokuments.
