Entwicklung einer flexiblen Datenablage zur sicheren Speicherung von Bauwerksdaten - "CASPAR"
(2024)
Bestandsunterlagen von älteren Bauwerken sind bezüglich einer rechnerischen Zustandsbewertung häufig nur in einem unzureichenden Umfang verfügbar. Dies gilt sowohl für den privaten als auch für den öffentlichen Bereich. Der Wert von Bestandsunterlagen für Gebäude oder Brücken ist Vielen nicht bekannt. Soll jedoch der aktuelle Zustand von Bauwerken bewertet, sollen Restlebensdauern abgeschätzt oder soll umgebaut werden, stellen Bestandsunterlagen die Grundlage dafür dar. Liegen diese nicht vor, so muss die Bauweise des Bauwerkes kostenintensiv nachvollzogen und mit nachträglichen Untersuchungsverfahren bewertet werden. Vor allem ist dies darauf zurückzuführen, dass die Aufbewahrung der Bestandsunterlagen dem Bauherrn obliegt und diese meist in Papierform vorliegen und dann bei Umzügen, Betriebsschließungen, Eigentümerwechsel etc. verloren gehen.
Die Digitalisierung im Bauwesen bietet hier Möglichkeiten diese Probleme künftig zu vermeiden. Bereits heute nimmt die digitale Planung im Bauwesen eine immer größere Rolle ein. Mehr und mehr Bauvorhaben werden schon jetzt in sogenannten BIM Modellen (Building Information Modelling) geplant. Um die Akzeptanz einer digitalen Lösung zu gewährleisten muss die Vertrauenswürdigkeit von Daten auch langfristig garantiert sein. Naturgemäß unterliegen Erkenntnisse, die aus Daten gewonnen werden, häufig vielen Prozessschritten mit unterschiedlichen Beteiligten. Es lässt sich vor dem Hintergrund der üblichen Lebensdauern von Bauwerken leicht erkennen, dass es schwierig ist diese Prozesskette, von der Datenerhebung bis zur teilweise jahrzehnte späteren Nutzung, beweissicher und rückführbar zu gestalten. Diese Attribute sind es aber, die die Vertrauensbasis für die Qualität und somit auch die Akzeptanz von digitalisierten Daten bilden. Im Projekt „CASPAR“ erarbeiten wir eine mögliche technologische Grundlage, um Bauwerksdaten langfristig und manipulationssicher zu speichern.
AbstractAir‐coupled ultrasonic testing (ACU) is a pioneering technique in non‐destructive testing (NDT). While contact testing and fluid immersion testing are standard methods in many applications, the adoption of ACU is progressing slowly, especially in the low ultrasonic frequency range. A main reason for this development is the difficulty of generating high amplitude ultrasonic bursts with equipment that is robust enough to be applied outside a laboratory environment. This paper presents the fluidic ultrasonic transducer as a solution to this challenge. This novel aeroacoustic source uses the flow instability of a sonic jet in a bistable fluidic switch to generate ultrasonic bursts up to 60 kHz with a mean peak pressure of 320 Pa. The robust design allows operation in adverse environments, independent of the operating fluid. Non‐contact through‐transmission experiments are conducted on four materials and compared with the results of conventional transducers. For the first time, it is shown that the novel fluidic ultrasonic transducer provides a suitable acoustic signal for NDT tasks and has potential of furthering the implementation of ACU in industrial applications.This article is protected by copyright.

In ultrasonic testing, material and structural properties of a specimen can be derived from the time-of-flight (ToF). Using signal features, such as the first peak or envelope maximum, to calculate the ToF is error-prone in multipath arrangements or dispersive and attenuating materials, which is not the case for the signal onset. Borrowing from seismology, researchers used the Akaike information criterion (AIC) picker to automatically determine onset times. The most commonly used formulation, Maeda's AIC picker, is reassessed and found to be based on inappropriate assumptions for signals often used in ultrasonic testing and dependent on arbitrary parameters. Consequently, an onset picker for ultrasonic through-transmission measurements is proposed, based on a spectral entropy criterion (SEC) to model the signal using the AIC framework. This SEC picker takes into account the spectral properties of the ultrasonic signal and is virtually free of arbitrary parameters. Synthetic and experimental data are used to compare the performance of SEC and AIC pickers. It is shown that the accuracy of onset picking is improved for densely sampled data.
The ultrasonic echo technique is widely used in non-destructive testing (NDT) of concrete objects for thickness measurements, geometry determinations and localization of built-in components. To improve ultrasonic imaging of complex concrete structures, we transferred a seismic imaging technique, the Reverse Time Migration (RTM), to NDT in civil engineering. RTM, in contrast to the conventionally used synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) algorithms, considers all wavefield types and thus, can handle complex wave propagations in any direction with no limit on velocity variations and reflector dip. In this paper, we focused on the development, application and evaluation of a two-dimensional elastic RTM algorithm considering horizontally polarized shear (SH) waves only. We applied the elastic SH RTM routine to synthetic ultrasonic echo SH-wave data generated with a concrete model incorporating several steps and circular cavities. As these features can often be found in real-world NDT use cases, their imaging is extremely important. By using elastic SH RTM, we were able to clearly reproduce almost all reflectors inside the concrete model including the vertical step edges and the cross sections of the cavities.We were also capable to show that more features could be mapped compared to SAFT, and that imaging of complex reflectors could be sharpened compared to elastic P-SV (compressional-vertically polarized shear) RTM. Our promising results illustrate that elastic SH RTM has the potential to significantly enhance the reconstruction of challenging concrete structures, representing an important step forward for precise, high-quality ultrasonic NDT in civil engineering.
The dataset contains raw data gathered with the ultrasonic pulse-echo method on concrete specimens. The surfaces of the measuring objects were automatically scanned point by point. Pulse-echo measurements were performed at each of these measuring points. The test specimens represent two typical testing tasks in construction industry: the detection of objects and the determination of dimensions to describe the geometry of components. By automating the measurement process, the different test scenarios are examined with a high repeatability, precision and measuring point density. Longitu- dinal and transversal waves were used and the geometrical aperture of the testing system was varied. The low-frequency probes operate in a range of up to approximately 150 kHz. In addition to the specification of the geometrical dimensions of the individual probes, the directivity pattern and the sound field characteristics are provided. The raw data are stored in a universally readable format. The length of each time signal (A-scan) is two milliseconds and the sampling rate is two mega-samples per second. The provided data can be used for comparative studies in signal analysis, imag- ing and interpretation as well as for evaluation pur- poses in different, practically relevant testing scenarios.
Information about an existing structure can be collected at certain costs to evaluate the reliability and condition as realistically as necessary. This information can be relevant or irrelevant, true or biased, precise or imprecise. The incorporation of relevant and quality-assessed measured information into reliability reassessment offers the chance to extend remaining lifetimes and support decision making about optimal actions or maintenance strategies. This paper shows recent developments in a national research project that aims to produce a guideline on the NDT-based, structure-specific modification of partial safety factors. The general methodology, results from recalculations according to the Eurocodes and metrologically solvable testing tasks relevant in the recalculation of the concrete bridges are shown and compared with the non-destructive testing methods applicable to concrete bridges. A case study is used to demonstrate that as-built drawings, in this case of the positions of tendons and shear reinforcement, can be verified using the radar method.
Im DIN-Normenausschuss Materialprüfung (NMP) wurde das Normungsgremium NA 062-08-28 AA „Qualifizierung von zerstörungsfreien Prüfungen“ reaktiviert. Das Ziel der Reaktivierung ist die Erarbeitung einer Norm für einen standardisierten Prozess zur probabilistischen Bewertung von Prüfverfahren.
In der zerstörungsfreien Prüfung (ZfP) führt die Ermittlung von Mess- / Prüfunsicherheiten von Prüfverfahren, in normativer Hinsicht in Deutschland und Europa, noch ein Schattendasein. Die Norm ISO IEC 17025 und auch der VDA-Band 5 wurden weiter in Richtung Messunsicherheit entwickelt, allerdings führt ihre Anwendung in der ZfP zu Problemen.
Der Arbeitsausschuss NA 062-08-28 AA soll hier den Brückenschlag zwischen Messunsicherheit, objektiver statistischer Bewertung für ZfP-Verfahren und eine weitere Stärkung der probabilistischen Bruchmechanik erreichen. Geplant ist daher die Erarbeitung einer DIN-Norm, welche die Kriterien für eine korrekte Versuchsplanung, ein praktikables Vorgehen zur Bewertung der Prüfergebnisse und die mathematische Überführung in eine Zuverlässigkeitsaussage enthält. Es soll ein Leitfaden erstellt werden, der für ein möglichst breites Branchenspektrum eingesetzt werden kann, unabhängig von den Besonderheiten verschiedener Industriezweige.
Dargestellt werden das relevante Normungsgremium sowie der Hintergrund des zu erstellenden Dokuments.
When reassessing existing concrete bridges, the challenge is often to obtain missing or incomplete information on the internal structure. In particular, the number and position of the existing reinforcement as well as the geometric dimensions of the components are of interest. Non-destructive testing methods, like radar or ultrasound, which work on the basis of the pulse-echo method, have been established for this purpose, as they only require access to the component from one side. The measurement data recorded on the structure require pre-processing to be able to reproduce the internal structure geometrically accurately. Besides different steps of data processing, the geometrical reconstruction of the measured data based on the Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique (SAFT) is state of the art today. In this paper, the technical possibilities of the ultrasonic echo method are presented based on measurements in the laboratory and on a real bridge structure. The precision of the reconstruction and its limitations are shown. In addition to the state of the art SAFT technique, open questions and the latest research approaches, such as imaging by reverse time migration (RTM) including initial results are discussed.
A major advantage in the reassessment of existing structures is the possibility of including measured data that describe the actual properties and the current condition of the structure to be reassessed. Currently, the incorporation of such measured information is mostly unregulated. However, the use of measurement results is vitally important, since a measured data-based improvement of the computation models level of approximation can lead at least to more meaningful results, possibly to extended remaining life times of the structure and in the best case to a saving of resources. Conversely, not appreciating well measurable and relevant information can be equated with a waste of resources. In this paper, a concept for the comparable use of non-destructively measured data as basic variables in probabilistic reliability assessments is outlined and examined using a typical prestressed concrete road bridge as a case-study. An essential requirement is the calculation of measurement uncertainties in order to evaluate the quality of the measurement results comparably. In conclusion, the example of ultrasonic and radar measurement data is used to demonstrate the effects that the incorporation of the measured information has on the reliability of the structure.
