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.
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.
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.
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.
