In this study, the availability of Schmidt hammer has been investigated as a reliable method to determine the quality of concrete in irrigation networks. For this purpose, the 28-day compressive strength of concrete material used in the construction irrigation channel of Bafra lowland, which is one of the most fertile plains in Turkey was examined by means of concrete compression and as well as concrete Schmidt hammer in laboratory conditions. This study was carried out on cylindrical samples to represent the everyday concrete party ($150m^3$) produced by contractor firm as 3 replications. The statistical analysis of experimental data showed that the correlations between the values of 28-day compressive strength of Schmidt hammer and the rebound number was found to be 0.98. Differences of the compressive strength between compression testing and Schmidt hammer were statistically significant at P<0.01. In this context, it was found that the reliability of compressive strength of the concrete compression test are excellent, also the reliability of compressive strength of Schmidt hammer are fair in assessing the quality of concrete irrigation channels.

The post - fire investigation is conducted on a fire-affected reinforced concrete shear wall building to ascertain the level of its strength degradation due to the fire incident. Fire incident took place in a three-storey building made of reinforced concrete shear wall and roof with operating floors made of steel beams and chequered plates. The usage of the building is to handle explosives. Elevated temperature during the fire is estimated to be $350^{\circ}C$ based on visual inspection. Destructive (core extraction) and non-destructive (rebound hammer and ultrasonic pulse velocity) tests are conducted to evaluate the concrete strength. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) are used for analyzing micro structural changes of the concrete due to fire. Tests are conducted for concrete walls and roof slab on both burnt and unburnt locations. The analysis of test results reveals no significant degradation of the building after the fire which signifies that the structure can be used with full expectancy of performance for the remaining service life. This document can be used as a reference for future forensic investigations of similar fire affected concrete structures.

RFI 공정은 진공백 내부에 섬유 매트와 수지 필름을 적층하여 성형하는 OoA 공정이다. 외부에서 따로 주입되는 수지가 없기 때문에 수지 필름의 양이 섬유가 필요로 하는 양보다 적은 경우 복합재 내부에 기공 결함이 발생하며 기계적 물성이 저하된다. 이러한 이유로 제작한 복합재를 실용화하기 위해서 비파괴검사를 이용한 기공예측이 필수적으로 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 RFI 공정에서 비파괴검사 시 기준으로 사용할 수 있는 표준 기공률 시편을 제조하는 방법을 제시하였다. 표준 기공률 시편 제작 방법으로 수지 필름 두께를 조절하는 방법을 사용하였으며, 목표 기공률별 수지 필름 두께를 설정하기 위한 방법으로 섬유 압착 실험을 제시하였다. 수지 필름 두께 조절을 통하여 0%, 2%, 4%의 목표 기공률 패널을 제작했고 비파괴시험과 기공률 측정을 통하여 기공률에 따른 비파괴검사 신호 감쇠를 측정했다. 또한 인장, 면내전단, 숏빔, 압축 시편의 신호 감쇠를 통하여 기공률을 추정하였고, 기공률에 따른 기계적 물성을 평가하였다.

schumidt hammer and ultra-sonic method are commonly used for concrete compressive strength test in a construction field. At present, various kinds of equations for estimation of strength are present, which have been used in a construction field. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation between estimation strength by presentation equations and destructive strength to test specimen, and find out which is a suitable equation for this construction site. In this study, a strength test was carried out destructive test by means of core sampling. Non destructive test was conducted Schumidt hammer and ultra-sonic method, the experimental parameter were concrete age, test method and strength level. It is demonstrated that the correlation behavior of concrete strength in this study good due to the performs analysis of correlation between core strength and nondestructive strength.

본 논문에서는 기존의 비파괴 초음파검사 시 사용되는 단일소자 탐촉자와 부채꼴 위상배열 탐촉자의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 선형배열 탐촉자를 설계 및 제작하였다. 선형배열 탐촉자는 KLM 해석 기반의 PiezoCAD 프로그램과 FEM 해석 기반의 PZFlex 프로그램을 사용하여 설계되었으며 고해상도를 위한 광대역 특성을 갖도록 압전소자 설계 시 2-2 복합체 구조를 도입하였다. 설계된 적층 구조를 바탕으로 128개 소자를 갖는 선형배열 탐촉자를 제작하고 시뮬레이션 결과와 성능 비교를 수행하였다. 제작된 선형배열 탐촉자는 5.5 MHz의 중심주파수를 가지며 -6 dB 에서 70%의 주파수 대역폭을 나타내어 초음파검사 시 검사체 내부의 효과적인 영상을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

This study evaluated the design and structural integrity of a three-axle bogie frame in a railway freight car through a numerical analysis and an experimental evaluation. A three-axle bogie frame, which supports the weight of the car body and load, is required to transport heavier cargo because two-axle vehicles have structural limitations. Therefore, this study performed a structural analysis and static load tests to evaluate the design and structural integrity of a three-axle bogie frame. The results obtained from the numerical analysis were compared to those of the experiments. For the bogie frame used in the experiments, a failure evaluation was performed using non-destructive methods. The numerical analysis and experimental evaluation were satisfactory for the structural integrity evaluation.

Impact seismic wave method is a method for non-destructive testing of concrete structure using of stress wave which is propagate and reflected from internal flaws within concrete structure and external surface. In this study, we performed frequency domain method using impact seismic wave test for safety diagnosis of civil engineering structure. And reflection method which is used for one-dimensional target such as tunnel lining and transmission method are compared with each other.

Occurrence of crack in the Half-loc of rubble mound breakwater under T.T.P (Tetrapod) can cause serious problems in structural safety. There, probing of such cracks in marine structures is an important process in evaluating the overall integrity of structures. Ultrasonic, SASW(Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Waves)and Impect-Echo methods were used for the inspection of pilot concrete and SFC (Steel Fiber Concrete) block in this study. The advantage and limitations of these methods for non-destructive inspection in concrete blocks are investigated. As a result, it has been verified that these methods proved to present effective solution for detecting the crack of the pilot concrete block.

Non-Destructive Health Monitoring using PZT sensors is a major concern and has great significance for research about NDT (Non-Destructive Test). In this paper, we study about the guided wave measurement method using PZT sensors to find cracks and estimate locations. Two aluminum beams bonded with PZT sensors were tested for estimating about the guided wave propagation characteristics and shape of each beam are decided in terms of analytical purpose. NI Signal Acquisition Device and specially designed LabVIEW VI program were used for data acquisition and analysis. The measured data were progressed by using a high-pass filtering.

Many structural evaluation procedures of road and airfield pavements use the Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) as a critical element of non-destructive deflection testing. FWD is a trailer mounted device that provides accurate data on pavement response to dynamic wheel loads. A dynamic load is generated by dropping a mass from a variable height onto a loading plate. The magnitude of the load and the pavement deflection are measured by a load celt and geophones. And database concerning pavement damage should be enhanced to analyze loss of thickness asphalt layer caused from the plastic deformation of pavement structure, such as cracking or rutting. The prototype FWD is developed, which consists of chassis system, hydraulic loading system, data acquisition and analysis system. This system subsequently merged to from automation management system and is then validated and updated to produce a working FWD which can actually be used in the field.
