Description
In this investigation an ultrasonic technique and spectral analysis
were employed to detect corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete
under conditions of accelerated testing. Various properties of a
transmitted ultrasonic pulse were determined, and it was concluded
that the transfer function provided the most realistic possibility
for detection of corrosion and cracking. The most meaningful correlations
of the transfer function with corrosion and cracking events
were for situations where the temporal variation of the transfer
function at the particular frequency was small. The appropriateness
of ultrasonic parameters with regard to problems involving corrosion
of reinforcing steel is discussed.
