Distinction of tendon ducts and rebars by GPR reflection signal patterns
- We investigated the possibility of surrounding waves
along with perimeter of large diameter tendon ducts during
ground penetrating radar (GPR) testing of concrete structures.
The surrounding waves influence the primary reflection from
tendon duct and alter the phase as well as amplitude of signal
depending on the diameter of the tendon duct. This phenomenon
was studied in detail by conducting several simulations using a
commercial software Reflexw®. Finite Difference Time Domain
method was adopted to analyze reflection patterns from objects
of various diameters located at different depths in concrete
media.
The proposed methodology will be useful in qualitative
assessment of size of metallic objects greater than a diameter of
6 cm. In general, the identification of large diameter tendon ducts
in a civil structure is carried out by prior knowledge of the civil
plan and its diagonal appearance to smaller diameter object
mesh. The proposed methodology will enhance theWe investigated the possibility of surrounding waves
