Abstract

Voids created with concrete construction or deterioration result in serious weakness from the aspects of both structural and durable function. Ultrasonic method using image processing technique was used for detecting pattern of voids in concrete in this study Experimental investigation was carried out for three types(patterns) of void in concrete. The effect of curing period of concrete and ultrasonic measurement method was also investigated. As a result it has been verified that the semi-direct measurement method is more effective than the other methods for detecting pattern of voids in concrete in ultrasonic method using image processing technique. The longer the curing period of concrete is, the better the detection accuracy of void pattern can be obtained.
