The Development of Flaw Detection in Concrete by the Impact-Echo Testing Method

충격탄성파법을 이용한 콘크리트 내부의 결함탐상 기술개발

The conventional high-frequency testing method is difficult to detect flaw in concrete because the high frequency stress wave is strongly attenuated due to the large grain size and heterogeneous structure. For restoration of this problem, we develop the stu요 of flaw detection in large concrete block containing various artificial flaws by low frequency spectrum anlysis of impact-echo waveforms. This impact-echo testing method is possible to determine the flaw size, shape and location in large concrete block even if required some attention in case of containing reinforcing steel bar.
