26、 dams, and other concrete construction. For this report, NDT is defined as generally noninvasive, with the excep-tion of transport property tests, which may cause easily-repaired surface damage. While coring and load testing may be considered nondestructive, they are excluded from this report. Refer

27、 to ACI 437R for more information about strength evaluation of existing concrete buildings.NDT methods are applied to concrete construction for four primary reasons:1. Quality control of new construction2. Troubleshooting problems with new and old construction3. Condition evaluation of older concret

28、e for rehabilitation purposes4. Quality assurance of concrete repairsNDT technologies are evolving and research continues to enhance existing methods and develop new methods. The report is intended to provide an overview of the principles of various NDT methods practiced and to summarize their appli

29、cations and limitations. Emphasis is placed on methods that have been applied to measure physical properties other than the strength of concrete in structures, to detect flaws or discontinuities, and to provide data for condition evalua-tion. Methods to estimate in-place compressive strength are pre

30、sented in ACI 228.1R.1.2needs and applicationsNondestructive testing (NDT) methods are increasingly applied for the investigation of concrete structures. This increase in the application of NDT methods is due to a number of factors:a) Technological improvements in hardware and software for data coll

31、ection and analysisb) The economic advantages in assessing large volumes of concrete compared with other methodsc) Ability to perform rapid, comprehensive assessments of existing constructiond) Specification of NDT methods for quality assurance of deep foundations and concrete repairsAn increased us

32、e of NDT methods is occurring despite the lack of testing standards for many of the methods. The development of testing standards is critical for proper appli-cation and expanded use of NDT methods for evaluation of concrete construction.Traditionally, quality assurance of concrete construc-tion has

33、 been performed largely by visual inspection of the construction process and by sampling the concrete to perform standard tests on fresh and hardened specimens. This approach does not provide data on the in-place prop-erties of concrete. NDT methods offer the advantage of providing information on th

34、e in-place properties of hardened concrete, such as the elastic constants, density, resistivity, moisture content, and fluid transport characteristics.Condition assessment of concrete for structural evaluation purposes has been performed mostly by visual examination, coring, and surface sounding, wh

35、ich refers to striking the object surface and listening to characteristics of the resulting sound. Condition assessments are used to examine internal concrete conditions and to obtain specimens for testing. This approach limits the areas of concrete that can be investigated effectively. Some coring

36、may be necessary for calibration purposes, particularly if the concrete strength is required. Cores also cause local damage and limit the information to the core location. Condition assessments can be made with NDT methods to provide essential information for the struc-tural performance of the concr

37、ete, such as:a) Member dimensionsb) Location of cracking, delamination, and debondingc) Degree of consolidation, presence of voids, and honeycombd) Steel reinforcement location and sizee) Corrosion activity of reinforcementf) Extent of damage from freezing and thawing, fire, or chemical exposureg) S

38、trength of concrete1.3objectiveThis report reviews the state of the practice for nonde-structively determining nonstrength physical properties and conditions of hardened concrete. The overall objective is to provide the potential user with a guide to assist in planning, conducting, and interpreting

39、the results of nondestructive tests (NDT) of concrete construction.Chapter 3 discusses the principles, equipment, testing procedures, and data analysis of the various NDT methods. Typical applications and inherent limitations of the methods are discussed to assist the potential user in selecting the

40、 most appropriate method for a particular situation. Chapter 4 discusses the planning and performance of NDT investiga-tions. Included in Chapter 4 are references to in-place tests covered in ACI 228.1R and other applicable methods for evaluating the characteristics of existing concrete.CHAPteR 2not
