Fundamental and Harmonic Wave Characteristics of Concrete Subjected to Temperature by Strength

고온이력을 받은 콘크리트의 강도별 기본파와 고조파 특성

The non-destructive method using ultrasonic waves has been applied in many studies due to its low damage to the structure and its simple evaluation method and high precision. On the other hand, if the concrete is subjected to a high-temperature, the mechanical properties may be deteriorated due to the micro-crack network and the damage may be severe depending on the strength of the concrete. Therefore, this study attempts to evaluate the fundamental wave behavior of different strength ranges using the ultrasonic non-destructive method for concrete that has been subjected to high-temperature. As a result, the relative power of the fundamental wave was decreased as temperature increase. And it was confirmed that the 2nd and 3rd harmonics were generated at 110 MPa. However, to check the 2nd, 3rd harmonics 110 MPa or less, there is a need for further research considering the ultrasonic output, the output of the sender and receiver, and the appropriate frequency accordingly.
