Ultrasonic Imaging of Concrete Elements - State of the Art Using 2D Synthetic Aperture
- Since several years ultrasonic imaging techniques are used for testing concrete elements. Combined with a reconstruction calculation they lead to an acoustic imaging of scatterers and reflectors from the inside of the concrete element. For several testing problems it is an advantage to use a two dimensional synthetic aperture and to combine it with a three-dimensional reconstruction calculation (3D-SAFT, Synthetic Aperture Focussing Technique). This enables the analysis of the tested volume by means of B-scans in two directions and C-scans (projections parallel to the surface), respectively. Using the 2D-scanning technique, especially the disturbing influence of the reinforcing rebars can be minimised. In this contribution the state of the art of this method is demonstrated and analysed. Examples of the application are presented, concerning Localisation of honeycombing and compaction faults Characterisation of cracks (especially measuring the crack depth) Investigation of tendonSince several years ultrasonic imaging techniques are used for testing concrete elements.

The methods are assessed and improved in cooperation with the partners participating in the project.…
