Abstract
In order to assess the existing infrastructures, it is required to measure the crack depth of concrete members. This paper considers the surface wave transmission technique to measure the crack depth. In special, we demonstrate the effect of reinforced bar on surface wave propagation and conclude that the surface wave transmission technique has only the minor error by the reinforced bar. In addition, we propose and validate the optimal window size for eliminating various reflection waves from the boundary of members.
