High-energy radiography is traditionally used for the detection of defects in thick-walled, bulky components. It is also used for testing the integrity of components for civil and security-related applications, e.g. containers. The combination of high-energy sources with digital detector arrays or line cameras allows carrying out the tests either in a shorter time compared to film technique, or with higher contrast sensitivity.
The high-energy X-ray laboratory "HEXYLab" at BAM is a joint laboratory in which future users, manufacturers and scientists collaborate to initiate and develop joint development projects. The new universal manipulation system “HEXYTech” provides the engineering and technical base for meeting different requirements within HEXYLab.
Different types of trajectories for tube, object and detector can be programmed with a total of 13 rotational and linear axes. In particular, large objects with complex geometries can be examined. Measurements can be acquired as 2D images via standard radiography as well as 3D volumes from laminography or computed tomography reconstructions.
The general rules for the application of high-energy radiography with digital detectors (imaging plates, digital detector arrays) were determined within the framework of the European project "HEDRad" (High Energy Digital Radiography) and added to the standard DIN EN ISO 17636-2.
The paper gives an overview of the test technique and introduces several applications on the basis of experiments and reconstructed 3D- images.
We examine the behavior of reinforced concrete components subjected to impact induced loading conditions which might be caused by vessels collisions such as aircraft fuel tanks The concrete plates were impact damaged at TU Dresden and shipped to BAM At BAM laminar tomography as the imaging method is used to determine and quantify the damage state An automatic crack detection method based on template matching is applied to find the cracks and we aim to develop a new method using machine learning Algorithms In addition numerical models are developed to understand the experiment and to predict the damage structures based on failure mechanisms.
Grouting defects, e.g. in post-tensioned structures or piped anchors may be identified by ultrasonic imaging. Since several years experiences are carried out with false color displayed phase values, which enable distinct localization of ungrouted regions.
In this contribution we report on progress in localizing grouting defects in tendon ducts, when they are only partly grouted and the unfilled part is not orientated into the direction of the measuring surface. This is frequently the case e.g. for box girder structures.
Düring the project specimens containing different types of grouting faults are investigated in Order to optimize measuring and evaluation techniques. A handheld linear array System (commercially available) is applied for fast 2D-measurement and subsequent phase sensitive 3D-imaging (new Software development).
In a large concrete wall specimen tendon ducts and real prestressing Systems containing grouting defects were built in. The ducts are partly covered by non prestressed reinforcement bars in order to investigate its disturbing influence. These included objects were investigated afterwards with the described methods. We report on large area measuring results, which were partly verified by y-radiography. In the frame of practical application results of measuring the position and extend of a blockade within a posttensioned structure are presen ted.
Reinforced concrete (RC) is used as structural material in most diverse civil engineering applications. For the variability of its physical properties it is still an engineering challenge to meet all necessary requirements for the prediction of dynamic effects under impact loading. In this paper, investigations are shown within the scope of quantifying and evaluating the damage caused by an impact. The experimental investigations are performed in the field of low- and medium-velocity impact. The chosen flat nose shape results in small penetrations on the top side and scabbing on the bottom side. The plate is scanned with an adapted planar tomographic examination after the impact, and the damage is analysed, afterwards. Cracks and spalling are made visible with a reconstruction. The numerical model validated on the tomographic results justifies the application for further predictions of the damage description.
The structural integrity of outer reinforced concrete (RC) containments of nuclear power plants provides an essential shield against external hazards. If this containment is damaged by an impact event, such as an aircraft crash, the question arises to which degree the reinforced concrete containment still has its protective capability. This concerns both purely structural protection and protection against liquids penetrating the interior of the containment. Due to the dimensions of the containment structures, it is difficult to perform real scale impact experiments, so in the past decades plate geometries at medium scale have been used for investigations. Detailed investigations on the structural behaviour of RC members or RC plates subjected to impact loading have already been presented in Just et al., Hering, Hering et al., Bracklow et al., Hille et al. and Nerger et al.
The following investigations deal with the single and multiple impact event (first hard impact and/or subsequent soft impact) on a RC specimen, which provides the basis for further investigations. A description of the test setup and the test procedure as well as a presentation of the test results from the impact tests are provided.
Furthermore, the experimental program is presented, which the damaged RC specimens are to undergo to deal with the question of how much the impact-damaged RC structure has become permeable to liquid media, such as water and kerosene, depending on the intensity of the impact. The aim of these following investigations is to develop a test setup that can be applied to investigate the liquid penetration behaviour (LPB) of small, medium, and large-scale RC members.
In addition to the liquid penetration experiments, the damaged specimens are to be examined by planar tomography to obtain the damage inside the specimen. The combination of damaging event, fluid penetration behaviour and tomography should enable a comprehensive understanding of the damage to the RC specimen.
The quantitative measurement of kind, positions and diameters of steel reinforce ments in building constructions is a typical inspection problem in civil engineering. A classical solution is the combination of film radiography with the multi angle technique and graphical backprojection. New digital detectors reduce the exposure time and allow the application of stereo radiography and computed laminography as routine applications.
The computed laminography allows fast and effectively the determination of the depth of reinforcements in concrete or masonry. A selected area of the steel re-bar structure is penetrated by gamma-rays from different angles of incidence (multi angle-technique) with a Co-60-source. Instead of a radiographic film phosphor imaging plates were used as a new digital medium for filmless radiography. A 3D-image of the measured region of interest is reconstructed from the digitised projections of a test block. The reconstruction is based on special tomosynthesis algorithms which need few projections only.
Radiographic techniques were uses in completion to other techniques like radar, electromagnetic alternating field inspection to examine the structure of different buildings. Experiences of inspections of historical buildings, ancient marble structures and a bridge girder are presented where different levels of radiography were applied.
