Abstract

This study proposed a new non-destructive evaluation method for concrete bridge deck deterioration using ground penetrating radar (GPR). To calculate dielectric constant of the concrete bridge deck, an extended common mid-point (XCMP) method was developed for a two-layered structure using an air-coupled GPR antenna setup. The deterioration conditions of the concrete bridge deck such as deterioration depth was evaluated based on the dielectric constant and surface-to-average dielectric constant ratio of the concrete bridge deck. A GPR field test was conducted on an old concrete bridge with asphalt concrete surfacing to validate the new evaluation method. The test results showed that the newly proposed method estimated pavement thickness and deterioration depth of the concrete deck in a reasonable level.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트 교량 바닥판의 열화를 비파괴시험인 지표투과레이더(GPR)를 이용하여 평가하는 방법을 개발하였다. 콘크리트 교량 바닥판의 유전 상수를 계산하기 위하여 비접촉식 GPR 안테나를 이용하여 2층 구조체에 적용할 수 있는 확장형 공통중간점 방법을 개발하였다. 콘크리트 교량 바닥판의 열화 깊이와 열화 상태는 콘크리트 교량 바닥판의 유전 상수와 표면대비 평균 유전상수비를 이용하여 평가하였다. 제안된 방법을 검증하기 위하여 GPR 현장 시험을 공용수명이 오래된 콘크리트 교량에서 실시하였다. 시험 결과 새로 제안된 방법을 이용하여 추정된 두께와 열화 깊이가 어느 정도 신뢰성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다.
