Die Risstiefenbestimmung in Festen Fahrbahnen ist hinsichtlich der Dauerhaftigkeit der Konstruktion von wesentlichem Interesse. Im Rahmen eines gemeinsamen Forschungsvorhabens mit der DB AG wurden aus der Literatur bekannte Ansätze bewertet und darauf aufbauend ein Verfahren zur bildgebenden Rissdarstellung entwickelt. Rissüberbrückende Bewehrung sowie Kontaktstellen zwischen den Rissflanken wirken als Schallbrücken und erschweren die Risscharakterisierung, wie bei einem Einsatz an einer Betriebserprobungsstrecke festgestellt wurde. Ein aus der Literatur bekanntes Verfahren der einfachen Laufzeitmessung erwies sich für die Tiefenbestimmung von realen verunreinigten Rissen als ungeeignet.
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.
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 tendon ducts
The results presented are obtained in the frame of a research initiative Non-destructive Evaluation of Concrete Structures Using Acoustic and Electromagnetic Echo-Methods supported by the German Science Council (FOR 384 of DFG, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft). The methods are assessed and improved in cooperation with the partners participating in the project.
During the re-use process of existing concrete memebers like foundations information about geometry and location of piles or strip foundation is necessary. Ultrasonic echo with a need of only one-sided access may provide this information and help the engineer to assess foundations. Cost effectiveness by the re-use of foundations gains an increasing economic role due to decreasing average economic lifetime of buildings on urban sites. Results of systematic ultrasonic echo investigations at a slab from 75 cm to 125 cm thickness with ten different reinforcement ratios are presented. The influence of the varying reinforcement ratio and thickness on the reliability of the results is shown. Available data-processing algorithms based on reconstruction calculation and imaging of results to reveal the geometry of a slab and the location of piles or strip foundations are introduced. Practical guidance for the application of ultrasonic echo and its limits are presented to ensure reliable results.
The delamination of concrete slabs is the separation along a plane roughly parallel to, and generally near, the surface. Corrosion-induced delamination is a common problem in old concrete bridge decks. If undetected, delaminations could expand, reach the surface, and result in spalling. Early detection of delamination is necessary for planning timely repairs that prevent costly deck replacement projects. Most bridge owners rely on routine visual and traditional surveys of bridge deck conditions. These surveys are highly subjective and can locate only large shallow delaminated zones. Several nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques have recently been employed for bridge deck evaluation to obtain more objective and comprehensive assessment. The reliability of applicable methods needs to be established before a greater role for NDT in routine inspections can be encouraged. This paper presents a validation study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of three NDT techniques, namely impact echo, ultrasound (US) echo, and US linear array, in detection of delamination. This study is unique because the subject test specimens were deteriorated bridge deck segments preserved from the demolition of a prestressed box girder bridge. The results of the tests conducted on one of the specimens are presented and discussed here: impact echo provided satisfactory overall assessment, but the individual results were often difficult to interpret; US echo detected deep delaminations but not shallow ones; and US linear array located the extent of deep delaminations and provided indications of shallow ones.
Characterization of reflector types by phase-sensitive ultrasonic data processing and imaging
(2008)
Ultrasonic and radar imaging techniques are limited in resolution by the wavelength in the material, yet information beyond those limits is hidden in complex frequency dependent reflection coefficients. The analysis of the phase of complex reflection coefficients together with the properties of imaging algorithms can help to characterize and to classify indications of defects in concrete buildings. This paper describes a method to extract phase information from measurements and SAFT reconstructed images. The influencing factors like material properties, transducer characteristics, and imaging algorithms based on Born or Physical Optics approximations are elaborated. Simulated and experimental results are briefly discussed.
