Non-destructive testing (NDT) of concrete structures is performed using pulse-echo methods. According to the type of the applied waves it can be classified as acoustic (Impact-Echo, Ultrasonics) and electromagnetic methods (Radar). The results are visualised through different imaging processes. This work is performed in the frame of a research project promoted by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (FOR384).The objective of data fusion is to use the complementary information of the different methods. Radar can detect metallic reflectors in concrete (metallic ducts and concrete reinforcement) very well. This method is not able to locate defects behind these reflectors (injecting defects, defects behind close concrete reinforcement), because the electromagnetic waves are completely reflected at metals. The acoustic methods are able to compensate this deficit i.e. acoustic waves can penetrate through metal. But acoustic waves in the ultrasonic range are completely reflected by air layers. Air layers have smaller influence on radar propagation, so that both methods complement each other.In order to be able to combine the NDT-data from several methods records at the same volume, the different data setsmodes of signals must be adapted. The ultrasonic and radar data have to be reconstructed with programs based on the Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique (SAFT) before data fusion. Subsequently, a conversion of the data into a uniform format has to be carried out. This is a prerequisite in order to keep the data exchange between the project partners as simple as possible. After the data sets are imported and transferred into a common reference system, they can be processed with operations according to the purpose of the investigation. Results, which have been achieved in concrete test specimen with radar and ultrasonics, will be presented and will show the feasibility of the data fusion method.
Active infrared thermography in civil engineering - quantitative analysis by numerical simulation
(2003)
The cooling-down process of building structures after heating-up with an external radiation source was analysed to detect voids inside and below the surface. Quantitative results of concrete test specimen containing voids with different sizes at various depths will be presented here. The experimental results were compared to numerical simulations performed with a Finite Difference program developed at BAM.
Anwendung der Impuls-Thermografie als quantitatives zerstörungsfreies Prüfverfahren im Bauwesen
(2002)
Zusammenfassung
Die Impuls-Thermografie ist eine aktive Methode zur Strukturuntersuchung von Bauteilen. Im Rahmen eines von der DFG geförderten Projektes wird in Kooperation mit der TU Berlin an der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung zur Zeit die mögliche Anwendung der Impuls-Thermografie als zerstörungsfreies Prüfverfahren im Bauwesen untersucht.
Die Impuls-Thermografie soll zur Ortung von oberflächennahen Inhomogenitäten, bei denen es sich im Normalfall um Fehlstellen handelt, in typischen Bauteilen verwendet werden und nach Möglichkeit die Geometrie- sowie die Materialparameter der Inhomogenitäten quantitativ bestimmt werden.
Messungen werden derart durchgeführt, dass Oberflächen mit einem geeigneten Heizstrahler erwärmt, die anschließenden Abkühlungsprozesse mit einer Infrarot-Kamera betrachtet und thermische Bilddaten (Thermogramme) aufgezeichnet werden. Der Hauptansatzpunkt für die quantitative Auswertung der Messdaten ist die Betrachtung von Temperatur-Zeit-Kurven (Transienten) des Abkühlungsprozesses über fehlerfreien und fehlerhaften Bereichen des Probekörpers. Zusätzlich werden auf Basis der Finiten-Differenzen-Methode numerische Simulationen durchgeführt. Quantitative Ergebnisse werden sowohl durch den Vergleich der experimentellen Daten mit den Simulationsrechnungen als auch durch eine Anpassung analytischer Funktionen an die Transienten erzielt.
Application of georadar for the determination of moisture content and distribution in masonry
(2003)
The application of impulse radar for structural investigation of concrete elements has been increased during the last years related to technical developments, i. e. of high frequency antennas. In this paper, case studies will be presented related to the location of reinforcing bars, tendon ducts and repaired concrete areas in concrete bridges, anchors and dowels in concrete highways and delaminations of layered structures as they are used for non-ballasted railway tracks. It is shown that impulse radar can be applied in case of regular inspection and for searching the cause of damages but also for quality assessment in civil engineering.
