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.
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.
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 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.
Am Deutschen Dom wurden Mikrowellenabsorptionsmessungen, Radar und Infarot- Thermographie als moderne zerstörungsfreie Prüfverfahren der Feuchtemessung in Mauerwerk erprobt. Ergänzende numerische Simulationsrechnungen des gekoppelten Wärme- und Feuchtetransports sollen bei der Auswahl von Trockenlegungskonzepten helfen.
ZfPBau-Kompendium 2004
(2007)
Dieses Kompendium ist ein kurzgefasster Abriss, ein Leitfaden und auch ein Handbuch der für den Einsatz im Bauwesen geeigneten zerstörungsfreien Prüfverfahren. In strenger, stets gleicher Gliederung wird jede der mehr als 100 Untersuchungsmethoden in einem eigenen Geräteblatt beschrieben. Hinzu kommen Querverweise zu alternativen Prüfmethoden sowie zahlreiche Hinweise auf einschlägige Fachliteratur und zu bekannt gewordenen Geräteherstellern, Lieferanten und Dienstleistern.
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.
