In this study, impact elastic-wave method was performed at the bottom surface of RC slab cut from an existing highway bridges to survey the horizontal cracks. Before measurements by impact elastic-wave method, impact response analysis was applied to determine optimal steel ball diameter, distance between impact point and receiving point of elastic-wave. Efficiency of analysis-aided impact elastic-wave method was confirmed by drilling and observing the interior of the RC slab by stick scanner. Evaluation results by this method agreed well with results of visual inspection. Thus, validity of the analysis-aided impact elastic-wave method on detection of horizontal cracks in RC slabs of highway bridges was demonstrated.

The experimental results of concrete panel with aggregate size 8mm is superior than 20mm.

As the interest in leisure sports is recently increasing domestically and internationally, the number of descending experience in the air facilities is increasing. Study on the cable and wire installed on a bridge has been actively preceded from the past to the present, but for descending experience in the air facilities for leisure sports, an accident occurs frequently and examination the structural safety of these facilities is still insufficient. Therefore, structural safety by dynamic impact is evaluated through 3-dimensional infinite element modeling and analysis of the steel cable for leisure sports previously installed. It is judged that more systematical safety than before could be secured based on this.

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.

As the building maintenance and safety management have recently been brought to attention, the utilization of non-destructive testing methods for internal inspection of concretes is increasing. Non-destructive testing methods, unlike typical destructive testing methods that deconstruct or cut the building in case of issues such as pores, heterogeneous material, cracks or any such equivalent issues inside/outside the building, refer to the testing methods for pores, heterogeneous material, or defectiveness occurring in the specimen without changes or destruction of internal structure using ultrasound, radiation, electromagnetism, fluid, heat, or light. In this study, among such non-destructive testing methods, the impact echo method was used for an experiment to estimate the steel rebar location and thickness in the concrete mock member.

Using an experimental test of frequency response function, it was found that the heavy-weight impact noise and the concrete slab acceleration response was amplified by interaction of the finishing mortar and the resilient material of floating floor in low frequency range.

The field application of air-coupled impact echo (IE) is evaluated in this study, where an actual in-service concrete bridge deck is tested. An IE test equipment set is deployed as part of an effort to develop new rapid measurement method. The IE data are presented as two-dimensional frequency maps. For verification of the location of shallow delamination damage, eight drilled core samples were extracted from the test area. The results show reasonably good agreement with the drilled cores.

In this study, the applicability of impact-echo method for assessment of residual strength of fire-damaged concrete is investigated. A series of standard fire test is performed to obtain fire-damaged concrete specimens. Impact-echo tests are executed on the specimens and the responses are analyzed. Compressive strengths of the fire-damaged concrete are evaluated and correlated with the ultrasonic wave velocities determined from the impact-echo responses. The effectiveness of impact-echo based ultrasonic wave velocity measurement for assessment of residual strength of fire-damaged concrete is discussed.

The impact factor of general road bridges is typically calculated according to Korea Highway Design Code(KHDC) or Design Guidelines For Cable-Supported Bridges in Korea. Above design codes define the impact factor as the function of span length or effective span length. But calculated impadt factors from this function are different to the measured values of long-span bridges such as cable-stayed bridge, suspension bridge. There are several methods to estimate the impact factor of cable supported bridges. In this study, the impact factor of cable-stayed bridges is estimated from dynamic load tests and compared to calculated values from the various design codes.

Recently, air-coupled impact-echo (IE) tests for rapid damage detection in concrete structures have been popularly employed, but they typically require an acoustically shielded, high sensitivity, pre-polarized air-pressure sensor. In this study, two types of air-coupled sensors (condenser and dynamic microphones) and one contact sensor (displacement sensor) are evaluated with regard to characterization of delamination damage in a concrete slab using the IE method. The contact and contactless IE tests were carried out over a simulated slab with artificial delaminations. Results show that even the dynamic microphone successfully captures impact-echo signals in a contactless manner and without acoustic shielding.
