Abstract

In this paper, we have introduced the feature extraction for the ultrasonic signal analysis of the undamaged and damaged concrete specimens. Since the concrete has the heterogeneous nature by itself, it has been difficult to classify the feature with using ultrasonic signal which is acquired from the undamaged and damaged concrete specimens. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed the combinational analysis which is using both the damage coefficient and the number of zerocrossing for the feature extraction. And the pulse velocity method and the damage coefficient, which was proposed by Suaris, were reviewed. In this experiment, two types of concrete specimen have been considered: 180kg/㎠ and 240kg/㎠. The ultrasonic signals were acquired in normal direction. As a result, it has been that combinational analysis method, which is proposed in this paper, shows the better performance than the traditional ultrasonic pulse velocity method and the damage coefficient using maximum amplitude of the ultrasonic signal in the feature extraction.

본 논문에서는 정상 콘크리트 시편과 손상된 콘크리트 시편으로부터 초음파 신호의 특징 추출에 관해서 연구하였다. 정상 시편과 다양한 손상 시편으로부터 수집된 초음파 신호는 콘크리트 자체의 이종특성에 기인하여 특징을 분류하는데 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 콘크리트 시편의 특징 추출 방법으로 초음파 신호의 분산에 의한 손상 계수 및 영점 교차 횟수를 이용한 복합 해석을 제안하였다. 또한 초음파 속도법과 Suaris가 제안한 최대 진폭에 의한 손상 계수를 살펴보았다. 본 실험에서는 180kg/㎠ 와 240kg/㎠으로 제작된 두 가지 종류의 콘크리트 시편이 사용되었고, 초음파 신호는 직접 투과방법에 의하여 반사신호를 측정하였다. 실험 결과 제안한 복합 해석 방법이 기존의 초음파 속도법이나 최대 진폭을 이용한 손상 계수에 의한 방법보다 우수한 성능을 보였다.
