Abstract: Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods have received growing acceptance in many testing tasks in the assessment of concrete infrastructures. Substantial progress in NDE methods for concrete structures can be achieved by discussing the specifics of each testing scenario. Because of the large variety of testing scenarios, the testing tasks must be isolated into subtasks, which can then be solved by NDE methods. A classification scheme for NDE tasks is described and discussed in this paper. Four major groups have been identified: the construction process, the concrete structure, physical or chemical processes, and material properties. For each of these groups, a number of subtasks are described. Typical parameter ranges and Resolution requirements are illustrated and major influencing factors listed. Reference specimens may be designed to be used for performance evaluation, validation, and certification of NDE methods. The classifications can also be used to draft a research road map that benefits both the owners of infrastructure and the instrument developers.
Research and Development in Non-Destructive Testing in Civil Engineering at BAM has de-veloped over more than two decades. Highlights of present research are ultrasound phase array probes, ground penetrating radar applications for the assessment of existing structures and Laser Induced Breakdown Spec-troscopy (LIBS) to determine which chemical elements on the surface of a specimen are. RFID sensor devel-opments for wireless moisture monitoring and data fusion for the combined analysis of sensor data are fast developing areas. In addition, a selection of application cases is briefly described.
Ein Ultraschallsystem mit großer Apertur, genannt LAUS – Large Aperture UltraSound, wird vorgestellt und die technischen Eigenschaften erläutert. Es besteht aus zwölf Prüfköpfen, die beliebig auf Betonoberflächen mit Unterdruck befestigt und jeweils als Sender oder Empfänger genutzt werden. Alle möglichen Kombinationen ergeben 132 Einzelmessungen, die zur Rekonstruktion des durchschallten Volumens genutzt werden. Das System wurde an zwei Bauwerken erfolgreich erprobt. Die Dicke einer sehr stark bewehrten Fundamentplatte eines Fallturms wurde bestimmt. Die Messungen erfolgten in einem Raster auf einer Fläche von 2,0 × 1,8 m2 und die Rückseite konnte eindeutig abgebildet werden. Weitere Anzeigen aus dem Inneren der Platte zeigen das Potenzial des Systems. An einem Brückenbauwerk wurden indirekt Verdichtungsmängel lokalisiert. Dazu wurden mit dem LAUS-System die im Brückenträger verlaufenden Spannkanäle durch fast 2 m Beton abgebildet.
A Large Aperture UltraSonic system (LAUS) has been designed and built for testing thick concrete structures. The scalable system consists of twelve ultrasonic units, each hosting 32 individual shear wave transducers with mechanical dry point contact (DPC) to the concrete surface. The twelve units are attached to the concrete surface using a vacuum case which holds them in place during operation. Each LAUS unit can be placed individually on the surface to achieve optimal ultrasonic condition, e.g. to avoid rebars. For the generation of vacuum, air pressure is supplied to each unit through an air hose. The twelve units define an aperture which is necessary for fast reconstruction of the subsurface structure. The well-known SAFT (Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique) algorithm has been adopted to this situation, where the individual LAUS units form a linear aperture with not necessarily equidistant spacing between the units. The exact geometrical position of the units, which are individually marked with retroreflective labels, is determined using photographs and image processing. All transducers are synchronized and work either as transmitter or receiver. A full scan consists of 12 * 11 recordings, where each unit acts as transmitter once and all others as receivers. An electronic sub-unit on the back of the ultrasonic device holds the battery and handles data acquisition, synchronization and data communication. A computer is used as base unit which communicates with each LAUS unit for control and data acquisition, the synchronization is performed by a radio modem that uses a special algorithm similar to a digital PLL (phase locked loop). No wire connections are necessary between the units and the base system.
The LAUS system is designed to investigate concrete structures with thicknesses in excess of 2 m, depending on the acoustic condition of the object under investigation. Highly reinforced concrete may have less penetration depth. The LAUS provides quasi real time imaging, once the transducers are put in place and the data has been acquired. First measurements on a foundation slab confirm, that the system can register ultrasonic echoes from the back wall at 4 m distance.
