The results from air-coupled impact-echo(IE) tests into concrete slab should be interpreted and represented so that field engineers can effectively check the condition of the structure. To improve these issues, IE data in the form of “4-D spectrum plot” can be utilized to identify the information of concrete defects effectively. The concept of the 4-D plot is introduced, and the effects of image parameters (e.g. frequency range, transparency index) are experimentally investigated in this study.
