2 Outline! Ultrasonic Tomography Overview! Georgia Example! MnROAD!Joint Assessment!Asphalt thickness and compaction! Conclusions/Goals moving forward

3 Ultrasonic Methods: Pros and Cons! Advantages! Multiple applications! Thickness determination! Inclusion locations! Flaw detection! Real time initial analysis! Disadvantages! Requires proper ground contact to achieve necessary penetration depths! Cannot take measurements at highway speeds! Requires significant efforts for large scale application

4 Introduction Propagation Material! Effect of the concrete medium on measuring thickness or detecting inclusions or flaws.! No influence if isotropic, non-dispersive, and non-dissipative! However, concrete is heterogeneous! Wave loses energy depending on the relationship between the!! scatterer and wavelength Schickert2003 higher center frequency! higher attenuation lower center frequency! higher distance Schickert, 2002

5 Introduction - Equipment! Dry Point Contact (DPC) Low Frequency Transducers! Manufactured by Acoustic Control Systems, Ltd, Moscow, Russia! Do not require surface preparation! Touch and measure devices with high repeatability! The transducers act on the test object surface with oscillating piezoelectric elements for wave production and signal receivers! out of phase for s-wave production! in phase for p-wave production Acoustic Control Systems, acsys.ru/eng Shevaldykin, 2002

6 New Ultrasonic Tomography Device! Recently acquired a 40-probe low frequency shear wave (s-wave) ultrasonic pulse-echo device for thickness and flaw detection in concrete Ð! self-calibrating MIRA: Ultrasonic Low Frequency Tomograph 45 pairs per measurement

Plug the shear wave velocity (s-wave) into the A1220 Monolith, based on the measured p-wave velocity! Use the A1220 Monolith to measure thickness, locate inclusions, or detect flaws in the concrete 5 O Seminario International de lngenieria de Pavimentos, 31 de Marzo 2010

42 Intro - P and S Wave Velocity relationship Carino, O Seminario International de lngenieria de Pavimentos, 31 de Marzo 2010!!! Assuming an isotropic, elastic solid, the compression (p-wave) and shear (s-wave) velocities are defined:! V p is the compression wave velocity! V s is the shear wave velocity! E is the elastic modulus! ", is Poisson s ratio! # is the density By combining V p and V s, and using arithmetic to simplify, the ratio between the speed of the longitudinal and shear waves is found to be dependant only on Poisson s ratio Assuming the value of Poisson s ratio in the concrete is 0.2, shear and compression wave velocities relationship can be estimated

44 Signal Classification Methods Ð Initial Application A shear load was applied to dowels embedded in an 8 in. beam! The dowel was pulled until failure with shear force and relative dowel displacement recorded! Pulse-echo measurements were made to assess the damage to the concrete around the dowel: Ð! Before the dowel was pulled in shear Ð! After the dowel was pulled in shear up to 6.5 kips, Ð! After the dowel was pulled in shear until macro cracking was visible at the face of the beam. Ð!
