Download or read book Effectiveness of Ndts for Detection of Concrete Deterioration and Defects written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The deterioration of concrete in structure is a result of several degradation mechanisms and results in a decrease in the integrity of the structure. The state of deterioration is often hidden from view and is only evident at a stage where there is a significant reduction in the load carrying capacity. Ensuring better performance of concrete structures requires early detection of defects. Defects are often introduced during casting and detection during in-service life is often too late to remedy the situation.
Book Synopsis Effectiveness of NDTs for the Detection of Concrete Deterioration by : Norsuzailina Mohamed Sutan
Download or read book Effectiveness of NDTs for the Detection of Concrete Deterioration written by Norsuzailina Mohamed Sutan and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-02-08 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focused on effectiveness of NDTs for detection of concrete deterioration or defects. Tests were performed to evaluate the feasibility of using Impact-Echo Method and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Test in detecting defect and determining its depth during the early age concrete (between days 3 to day 28). Tests were performed on two RC Slabs Grade 30 and 40 at day 3,7,14 and 28 with a fabricated void at a known location. Tests were also performed to examine theoretically the relationship between the porosity of concrete at each stage and different strength with the accuracy of void depth detected. Both methods could detect defect in specimens during the early age. However, in the determination of depth of defect, Impact-Echo Test gave more accurate results. It is concluded that both methods can be used to assess the in-situ properties of concrete or as means for quality control on site since both tests could detect defects from day 3 and the accuracy ranges 55.75% to 99.05% from day 3 to day 28.

Book Synopsis The Sensitivity of Nondestructive Testing in Detecting Freeze-thaw Deterioration in Concrete by : Yutai Liu
Download or read book The Sensitivity of Nondestructive Testing in Detecting Freeze-thaw Deterioration in Concrete written by Yutai Liu and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In cold regions, freeze-thaw damage is considered one of the most important factors in concrete deterioration. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles can cause internal cracking, scaling and even complete disintegration of concrete if the concrete is not properly designed. For the purpose of detecting internal freeze-thaw damage at early stages and minimize the subsequent cost of repair, effective and convenient concrete testing techniques are of great importance. The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the sensitivity of various nondestructive testing techniques in detecting freeze-thaw deterioration in concrete. Three nondestructive test (NDT) methods were investigated and compared in this thesis: the surface resistivity test (SR), the bulk resistivity test (BR) and the ultrasonic pulse velocity test (UPV). The pressure tension test (PT) has proven to be more sensitive in detecting the internal cracking of concrete compared to other tension tests. This thesis utilized this method to quantify the freeze-thaw damage in concrete specimens and further evaluate its applicability in evaluating the deterioration in concrete associated with cyclic freeze and thaw. Two concrete mixes of W/C 0.65 and 0.45 were prepared and cured for 28 days before being subjected to freeze-thaw cycling according to ASTM standard C666. NDT and pressure tension testing were carried out on the specimens to monitor deterioration over ongoing freeze-thaw cycles. The relationships between the test results of NDT and PT were studied. Test results showed that the three NDT methods exhibit various sensitivities and capabilities in detecting freeze-thaw damage in concrete. SR is very sensitive in detecting freeze-thaw damage, while BR and UPV are able to detect freeze-thaw deterioration only when the damage is more severe. In addition, testing showed that the surface resistivity is very sensitive to temperature change, an issue that must be considered when implementing this technique in the field. " --

Book Synopsis Corrosion of Steel in Concrete by : Luca Bertolini
Download or read book Corrosion of Steel in Concrete written by Luca Bertolini and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-02-26 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steel-reinforced concrete is used ubiquitously as a building material due to its unique combination of the high compressive strength of concrete and the high tensile strength of steel. Therefore, reinforced concrete is an ideal composite material that is used for a wide range of applications in structural engineering such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, harbor quays, foundations, tanks and pipes. To ensure durability of these structures, however, measures must be taken to prevent, diagnose and, if necessary, repair damage to the material especially due to corrosion of the steel reinforcement. The book examines the different aspects of corrosion of steel in concrete, starting from basic and essential mechanisms of the phenomenon, moving up to practical consequences for designers, contractors and owners both for new and existing reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. It covers general aspects of corrosion and protection of reinforcement, forms of attack in the presence of carbonation and chlorides, problems of hydrogen embrittlement as well as techniques of diagnosis, monitoring and repair. This second edition updates the contents with recent findings on the different topics considered and bibliographic references, with particular attention to recent European standards. This book is a self-contained treatment for civil and construction engineers, material scientists, advanced students and architects concerned with the design and maintenance of reinforced concrete structures. Readers will benefit from the knowledge, tools, and methods needed to understand corrosion in reinforced concrete and how to prevent it or keep it within acceptable limits.
