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.
In this study, we aimed to consider the inspection without destroying the specimen using the Impact Echo Method of nondestructive test using stress wave in an objective manner for detecting defects in concrete members. As a result of estimating the thickness of the concrete slab member using Impact Echo Method under the influence of the result of the stress wave, the average error in the 7.49% confirmed the applicability. In addition, we can check the possibility of data acquisition and construction of concrete structures for the construction of the diagnosis system
In this study, I tried to derive the expression intensity estimation through analyzing the correlation between wave velocity and compressive strength of high-strength concrete and normal-strength one, using ultrasonic pulse velocity which is one of the non-destructive tests which do not damage the structure. By producing a material age strength and body separate experiment which is applied to the ultrasonic pulse velocity, we have derived the estimating compressive strength such as a formula strength of normal-strength concrete : Fc=0.0841vp3.6018, R2=0.82 high strength concrete : Fc=0.0008vp6.9287, R2=0.88. As a result of this verification experiment, the estimated error rate of the compressive strength of normal strength concrete is 16.32%, in the case of high-strength concrete is now 7.58 percent.
Part of the domestic construction practice and non-destructive inspection technology world level is often inadequate to provide the test results to serve as a basis for evaluating the safety of the structure. Therefore, in this study, is intended to provide basic data for legislation nondestructive inspection in Japan, estimates the size of the column using a technique reverberation impact manufactured column member or this purpose. 3% maximum error rate, the result was 1% minimum error rate. The average error rate is 1.6%, revealed as well as the size of the columns that have been measured
