Determination of chloride content in concrete structures with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy
(2003)
The Chloride content is an important factor which influences the durability of concrete structures. The standard methods are mostly intricate, time consuming and require a chemical laboratory. This article describes the application of a spectroscopic method, the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), for the determination of Chloride contents in concrete and mortar specimens. LIBS can be used on-site, needs no sample preparation and is able to investigate rapidly a large number of different measuring points. The LIBS set-up and the experimental conditions to detect Chlorides are reported. Calibration curves are presented and the limit of detection (LOD) is determined. Results measured on different concrete cores are presented and compared with the results of standard chemical methods.
The high amount of building waste material requires innovative strategies for high-order re-use of the material. With Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) both the elemental composition of building materials and trace elements can be determined with a real-time measurement, even on-site and in a harsh industrial environment. We present the experimental data on heavy metal detection in the ppm concentration range, as well as calibration curves. Further on we demonstrate the characterization of cement and concrete concerning the main components by means of Rankin diagrams. We suggest an implementation of LIBS in the processing of building waste materials to allow a high-order re-use.
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.
Determination of chloride content in concrete structures with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy
(2005)
An important criterion for the evaluation of reinforced concrete structures is the measurement of the chloride content. This will normally be done by time consuming standard chemical methods. We propose the application of a spectroscopic technique, the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), which provides the advantages of a fast measurement, the potential for on-site application and the possibility to investigate a wide range of different measuring points. The surface can be scanned, or depth profiles are available from cores. Measurements can be performed directly on the sample surface and the results are available in near real time. We present LIBS results measured on concrete cores as well as on grinded and pressed material in comparison with the results of standard chemical methods. The optimum LIBS set-up and the experimental conditions to detect and measure chlorine in building materials are reported. The limits of detection were determined and calibration curves were measured.
