Application of georadar for the determination of moisture content and distribution in masonry
(2001)
Im Rahmen eines FE-Projektes “Inspektion Fester Fahrbahnen“ der BAM und der Deutschen Bahn AG geht es um die Anwendung und weitere Entwicklung zerstörungsfreier Messverfahren zur Beurteilung des Zustandes Fester Fahrbahnen.
Nach ersten Versuchsreihen direkt im Gleis wurden für verschiedene Bauarten die charakteristischen Herstellungsbedingungen simuliert und systematisch untersucht. Die kombinierte Anwendung der drei Messverfahren Ultraschall-Array-, Impakt-Echo- und Impuls-Radar-Verfahren wird hier an dem Beispiel “Betonschwelle in Betoneinbettung” dargestellt.
In den letzten Jahren hat sich das Impulsradar als zerstörungsfreies Prüfverfahren im Bauwesen insbesondere zur Ortung von metallischen Einbauteilen wie z. B. schlaffer und vorgespannter Bewehrung in Betonbauteilen immer stärker durchgesetzt.
Systematische Laboruntersuchungen und Fallstudien zeigen aber auch, dass das Verfahren sehr gut zur Ortung von Hohlstellen sowohl in Mauerwerk als auch in Betonstrukturen geeignet ist.
Das Radarverfahren arbeitet nach dem Impuls-Echo Prinzip. Dabei wird von der Sendeantenne ein sehr kurzer elektromagnetischer Impuls ausgesendet (ca. 3 Halbwellen), der an Grenzflächen im Material (Änderung der Dielektrizitätskonstanten) und bei nicht zu dicken Bauteilen auch an der Rückseite reflektiert und von der Empfangsantenne detektiert wird. Bei den hier vorgestellten Messergebnissen wurden eine 900 MHz sowie eine 1,5 GHz Antenne in Kombination mit einem kommerziellen Radargerät eingesetzt.
Das Projektziel war die Vermeidung von Schäden bei Erdarbeiten und Ausschachtungen durch Entwicklung eines innovativen Bodenradarsystems mit wesentlicher Verbesserung des räumlichen Auflösungsvermögens bei der zerstörungsfreien Ortung von folgenden Objekten im Untergrund: Gasleitungen, Frisch- und Abwasserleitungen, Leitungen zur Elektrizitäts- und Kommunikationsversorgung aus verschiedenen Materialien und umgeben mit unterschiedlichen Böden mit variierendem Feuchtegehalt. Darüber hinaus ging es um die Reduzierung der Kosten und Erhöhung der Akzeptanz des Verfahrens durch eine schnelle Echtzeit-Interpretation der Messdaten.
Today's civil engineering NDT needs are for quantitative, fast to apply and easy to interpret methods. They are required on site both for evaluation of existing structures/infrastructure and for quality control in new construction. With this purpose, BAM has carried out in-situ feasibility studies, using radar, impact-echo and ultrasonic-echo methods. Two examples are given of their combined application on different railway slab–track constructions, using high frequency radar, scanning impact-echo and ultrasonic array methods. The aim was to evaluate limitations and advantages, comparability and complementarity of these methods. The on-site measurements demonstrated the possibility to investigate, with good accuracy via NDT, the bonding conditions between sleepers and slab, to locate voids and measure layer thickness. The acoustic and electromagnetic methods used, were found to be complementary.
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.
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.

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.
Application of georadar for the determination of moisture content and distribution in masonry
(2003)
For the investigation of the complex inner structure of historic buildings, the application of radar has been increased during the last ten years. Although historic masonry in general is very inhomogeneous and although in some cases high absorption occurs due to enhanced moisture, radar has been successfully applied to get information on geometry, position of inclusions and about kind and size of existing damages. In this paper case studies will be presented concerning the localisation of metallic inclusions and the investigations of the structure of an exterior wall with a multiple leaf structure.
Ortung von Hohlstellen und Ablösungen in Betonkonstruktionen mit Radar und Impuls-Thermografie
(2003)
We concentrate on appropriate algorithmic processing of microwave Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data obtained from concrete specimens containing tendon ducts below steel reinforcement bars either via simulations or via experiments. The goal is to understand the physical phenomena of electromagnetic wave propagation and scattering in detail in order to optimize imaging algorithms like SAFT (Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique as the NDT version of SAR) in its 3D diffraction tomographic FT-SAFT formulation (Fourier-Transform-SAFT). Therefore we start with the simulation of a "simple" specimen and switch to a more realistic one in order to check whether simulation and experiment can give comparable results. Basically, this could be confirmed, but, nevertheless, various parametric studies will still have to be performed in the future.
ONSITEFORMASONRY is a research project funded by the European Commission under the 5. Framework Programme 1998-2002 in the Thematic Programme: Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development and the Key Action: The City of Tomorrow and Cultural Heritage.
The main objective of the project is the development and improvement of methodologies for the evaluation of the structure of historic masonry Cultural Heritages. For effective restoration and conservation of historic buildings, a detailed assessment of the structural safety and physical damages of the masonry structure is required. Therefore, typical masonry damages and the most frequent pathologies in each region have been identified and summarised in a catalogue of problems and damages. Selected non-destructive (NDT) and minor-destructive (MDT) techniques are performed by the partners including the development of software packages for fast and automated data analysis. The strategy for an effective and useful combination of different NDT and MDT methods will be worked out considering the results of case studies and taking into account the experiences of the consortium members. Recommendations and guidelines for the application of the integrated methodologies will be developed in close co-operation with end-users.
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.
Ortung von Hohlstellen und Ablösungen in Betonkonstruktionen mit Radar und Impuls-Thermografie

The German Society for Non-destructive Testing (DGZfP) is a center of activity in research, development, application and dissemination concerning non-destructive testing (NDT) methods. The transfer of results from research to practical application is one of the main targets. Therefore the Technical Committee NDT in Civil Engineering has published ten guidelines providing information from scientifical background to practical application concerning NDT-methods like radar, ultrasonic and radiography. Considering radar for example the content and structure of these guidelines is described below. To contribute to harmonization of European regulations and standards these guidelines should be transferred into the English language area. They can serve as a basis for harmonized European standards.
New thermography systems enable the application of active investigation techniques, i.e. the observation of the cooling down process after heating the surface of a structure under investigation. Defects like voids in concrete having a different thermal diffusivity in comparison to the bulk material are visualised by different surface temperatures. The differences between temperature transient curves above sound regions and above inhomogeneities are expected to include information about the defect parameters.
Experimental investigations with impulse thermography and radar on a concrete test specimen containing voids were analysed. Radar was used to determine the depth of the voids. The influence of size and depth of the voids on the temperature transient curves was studied for different heating times. The transient curves were also fitted with a simple semi-empirical model.
The structural safety, durability and performance of the infrastructure is of primary interest in every country. An efficient system for early and regular structural assessment as well as for quality assurance during and after the construction of new structures and of reconstruction processes is urgently required. At BAM, NDT methods to be applied in civil engineering are developed and their application improved. From the experience of on-site assessments, quality assurance systems and methodologies for regular inspections are elaborated. This work is mainly performed in the frame of externally funded research projects.
Abstract
In the recent years the application of infrared thermography and especially its active approaches lock-in thermography, impulse themography and pulse phase thermography (PPT) has gained more importance for non-destructive testing (NDT). In this paper it is demonstrated that PPT is very well suited for NDT in civil engineering. The method is based on pulse heating of the investigated specimen and on the observation of the cooling down process on its surface with an infrared camera. The transient behaviour is afterwards analysed with Fast Fourier Transformation, enabling the creation of phase and amplitude images with enhanced visualisation of the defects. Results of European and National (i.e. DFG) funded projects are presented, for example the detection of voids and inhomogeneities close to the surface and the localisation of delaminations on plastered concrete and masonry specimen.
ZUSAMMENFASSUNG
Im Rahmen eines von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft geförderten Vorhabens zur zerstörungsfreien Prüfung im Bauwesen wird in der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) in Zusammenarbeit mit der Technischen Universität Berlin (TUB) die Puls-Phasen-Thermografie (PPT) weiterentwickelt, bewertet und eingesetzt. Die durch die Impuls-Thermografie (IT) aufgenommenen Daten werden mittels Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) bearbeitet. Die durch die FFT gewonnenen Phasenbilder reduzieren die Störeinflüsse von Oberflächeninhomogenitäten und ungleichmäßiger Erwärmung.
Die dargestellten Ergebnisse zeigen deutlich, dass sich die PPT sehr gut zur zerstörungsfreien Prüfung im Bauwesen eignet. Insbesondere Inhomogenitäten im oberflächennahen Bereich, wie Ablösungen und Hohlstellen hinter Beschichtungen (Putz, CFK-Laminate etc.), aber auch Defekte in größeren Tiefen können zuverlässig geortet und bildgebend dargestellt werden.
In der BAM wurde als Gemeinschaftsvorhaben der Fachgruppe „Zerstörungsfreie Schadensdiagnose und Umweltmessverfahren“ ein rechnergesteuerter Messabtaster für Bauwerksteile (Baustellenscanner) entwickelt. Es handelt sich um ein auf Schienen verfahrbares modulares System mit einem multifunktionalen Messkopf für mehrere zerstörungsfreie Prüfverfahren. Mit dem Baustellenscanner können Objekte wie Brücken oder Fundamentplatten schneller und genauer als bisher bei gleichzeitig reduziertem Personalaufwand untersucht werden.
Impulse-thermography has been established as a fast and reliable tool in many areas of non-destructive testing. In recent years several investigations have been done to apply active thermography to civil engineering. For quantitative investigations in this area of application, finite difference calculations have been performed for systematic studies on the influence of environmental conditions, heating power and time, defect depth and size and thermal properties of the bulk material (concrete). The comparison of simulated and experimental data enables the quantitative analysis of defects.

Zusammenfassung
Auf dem Gelände der BAM entstand im Frühjahr 2003 ein Probekörper, der die Verbindung bildet zwischen Laborprüfkörpern und realen Bauwerken aus Mauerwerk. Er dient der Validierung und Weiterentwicklung von zerstörungsfreien Prüfverfahren zur Untersuchung von historischem Mauerwerk. Dabei wurde große Sorgfalt auf die Materialauswahl und den strukturellen Aufbau gelegt. Die Materialien sollten denen von realen, historischen Bauwerken entsprechen. Der strukturelle Aufbau ergibt sich aus praxisrelevanten Fragestellungen. Der Probekörper steht auch anderen Arbeitsgruppen für Verfahrensvalidierungen zur Verfügung.
Zerstörungsfreie Ortung von Fehlstellen und Inhomogenitäten in Bauteilen mit der Impuls-Thermografie
(2004)
Impulse-thermography is an active method for quantitative investigation of the near surface region of various structures which has recently been applied to civil engineering. It is well suited for the detection of voids and honeycombing in concrete up to concrete covers of 10 cm and more. For quantitative analysis, a computer program for numerical simulation of the heating up and cooling down processes was developed based on Finite Differences. With this program parameter studies have been performed for investigating the influence of environmental conditions, material parameters and geometry on the thermal behaviour. The comparison between experimental and simulated results enables the Inverse Solution.

Radar, Ultraschall, Impact-Echo, Mikroseismik, aktive Thermografie und Flat-Jack weiterentwickelt und im Rahmen einer Vielzahl von Fallstudien vor Ort eingesetzt. In dieser Veröffentlichung werden die Ergebnisse des Projektes vorgestellt, und es wird auf weiterführende Literatur und Informationsquellen verwiesen.
Untersuchung von historischem Mauerwerk mit der Puls-Phasen-Thermografie / Altes Museum und Wartburg

The applicability of pulse phase thermography (PPT) for the investigation of structures is studied systematically on concrete test specimens and on a plastered sandstone column. In the test specimens, voids and delaminations are implemented in different depths and with different sizes, modelling real voids, honeycombing and debonding. Delaminations of plaster in concrete and masonry and behind tiles on concrete are investigated. PPT is based on the frequency analysis of the cooling down process of actively heated surfaces. Therefore, it is contactless and thus completely non-destructive (if overheating of the surface is prevented), fast and allows the inspection of large surface areas. The interpretation of amplitude and phase images gives semi-quantitative information about the observed defects. The phase images provide a deeper probing up to 1015 cm in relation to the interpretation of the thermograms and to the amplitude images. In addition, the influence of surface inhomogeneities and non-uniform heating is reduced.
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.

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.
Struktur- und Feuchteuntersuchungen von Bauteil- und Bauwerksoberflächen mit der Impuls-Thermografie

An advanced quantitative approach of pulse-phase-thermography for nondestructive
testing in civil engineering is described in this contribution. The
characteristic frequency of the maximum phase-contrast between defects and sound
areas is used as a means for the characterization of its depth.
The new approach is tested in the laboratory on concrete structures with defects of
polystyrene. The surfaces of the structures were heated with IR-radiators for varying
time periods.
The presented investigations were funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft
(DFG) and were carried out in co-operation with the Technical University of Berlin
(TUB).
The active approach for non-destructive-testing in Civil Engineering (NDT-CE) with infraredthermography (IR), developed at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), is described in part one of this contribution. The active IR-approach is based on the principles of impulse- (IT) and pulse-phase-thermography (PPT). The concept is a direct result of a research project at the BAM in cooperation with the Technical University of Berlin (TUB) and was funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). In the second part results of the new thermography-scanning system (thermo-scanner) of BAM on debonding of multi-layered structures, especially carbon fibre reinforced plates (CFRP) on concrete are presented. Both, the thermo-scanner developed at BAM, and the investigations carried out, are part of the
EU-Project Sustainable Bridges. In the third part of the paper the characteristic frequency of the optimum phase-contrast as a means for the characterization of defects depth in CE by means of PPT is introduced. A new quantitative approach is tested and discussed on concrete structures with defects of polystyrene and gas concrete.
