In order to examine the effect of voids on the ultrasonic wave velocity, specimens made of Silica-Sand with voids were prepared for the measurements. The volume fraction of 0, 15, and 30% of voids were used to compare the differences. Because of its more homogeneous distribution of materials properties, the Silica-Sand specimens were used, as compared to mortar specimens. The results showed clear change in ultrasonic wave velocity with different volume fraction of voids. This result is to be used for the estimation of the integrity of concrete structures using ultrasonic wave velocity method as nondestructive testing.

Ultrasonic pulse velocity method is applied many times for measuring surface crack depth of concrete in case of diagnosis of concrete structures. By the way, this method has an error accompanying measured surface crack depth of concrete because there are many uncertainty factors. So, it is necessary to study for an error of this method affected by these uncertainty factors. Two error factors(uncertainty factors) are tested and analyzed in this study. One is for an error according to measuring the propagation time of ultrasonic wave and the arrangement distance of transducers. Another is for an error according to positioning the transducer as a distance to surface crack from the transducer.

Both ultrasonic velocity at 3 MHz and absorption coefficient for the frequency range of 0.2-2 MHz were measured in an aqueous solution of polyacrylamide for the concentration range of 0.5% to 2.5% by weight. Pulse echo overlap method was taken for measuring the ultrasonic velocity over the temperature range of 10-90℃ and the high-Q ultrasonic resonator method was used for the absorption coefficient at 30℃. The velocity exhibited a maximum value at approximately 70℃, 71℃, 72℃, 73℃ and 74℃ in 2.5%, 2.0%, 1.5%, 1.0%, and 0.5% solutions, respectively. The velocity increased with the concentration at a given temperature. The ultrasonic absorption (a/f²) at a given temperature increased linearly with the concentration for the concentration below 1.5%, but suddenly increased for the concentration above 1.5% concentration. The value of a/f² at 1MHz was entirely due to the classical Stoke's viscous effect. The ultrasonic relaxation in polyacrylamide aqueous solutions, which may be the result of structural fluctuations of polymer molecules such as the segmental motion of the polymer chains, was observed, and at 2.5%, the value of a/f² was found to suddenly increase as frequency decreased.

최근 건축물의 노후화에 따라 리모델링이 증가하고 있다. 이에 구조물의 품질관리 중요성이 대두되어 구조물의 안전진단 및 상태평가에 대한 관심이 증가되고 있다. 노후건축물의 정확한 진단을 위해서 구조물의 결함을 사전에 평가할 수 있는 진단평가기법이 필요하다. 이와 더불어 재건축을 위한 안전진단 기준이 개선되어 구조안전성의 가중치가 증가함에 따라 보다 신속하고 신뢰성 높은 구조물의 안전진단기법에 대한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 초음파속도법을 이용하여 압축강도를 추정하는 연구는 공시체를 기반으로 한 연구들이 주로 이루어져 왔으며 실제 건축물이나 콘크리트 구조부재를 대상으로 한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 비파괴검사법 중 하나인 초음파속도법을 이용하여 철근콘크리트 수직 및 수평부재로 구성된 단층 규모의 구조물을 대상으로 초음파속도와 압축강도의 상관관계를 검증하여 압축강도를 추정하고자 하며, 또한 이를 바탕으로 현장 적용성을 검토하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 초음파속도법을 이용한 구조체의 압축강도 추정 평균 오차율은 28.7%로 현장 적용성을 확인하였다. 그러나 추정의 정확도를 높이기 위하여 복합 비파괴검사법을 이용한 신뢰도 높은 진단기법의 필요성을 확인하였다.

Computer-aided high frequency ultrasonic is applied to aluminum oxide(85w%, 94w%, 96w%, and 99w%) MOR(modulus of rupture) samples to evaluate mechanical properties such as density variation, pore content, elastic modulus, shear modulus, and poisson's ratio. Ultrasonic wave velocity and attenuation measurement techniques were used as an evaluator of such properties. Pulse-echo C-Scan images with different fate setting method using 50MHz center frequency 1 inch focal length transducer allows evaluation of density variation and pore content. Elastic modulus calculated with the relation of density and ultrasonic velocity. It shows good reliability as compared with resonance method. Sintered density variation of $0.025g/cm^{3}$, that is 0.6% of theoretical density in $Al_{2}O_{3}$ samples can be observed by ultrasonic velocity measurement. Attenuation measurement method qualitatively agree with 4-point fracture testing result concerning of porosity content.

The structure must be periodically checked and measures must be taken to prevent deterioration in building construction. From this point of view, a nondestructive test is essential to estimate whether the construction of buildings is proper, and whether the dimension of depositing concrete is consistent and without damage. This study estimated the thickness of the concrete component of construction framework using the ultrasonic velocity method and the impact echo method, in order to investigate reliability of the estimation of the thickness of normal strength concrete and high strength concrete, leading to the following conclusions. In the estimation of the thickness of the concrete structures, specimens of normal strength of 24MPa and specimens of high strength of 40MPa demonstrated an average error rate of 5.1% and 2.2%, respectively. The impact-echo method, one of the non-destructive tests, is verified as an efficient diagnostic technique. With this information, we will determine specific standards for the maintenance of structures, and the re-creation of lost building blueprints.

본 연구에서는 시멘트 대체 재료로서 비소성 황토(NHT)를 혼합한 콘크리트의 역학적 특성을 평가하였으며, 초음파 속도 분석을 통한 콘크리트의 강도 예측식을 제안하였다. 혼합된 NHT의 시멘트 치환율을 0, 15 및 30%로 설정하였으며, 시멘트 및 NHT의 분체량에 대한 영향을 평가하기 위해 목표 강도를 30 및 45MPa로 설정하였다. 평가한 항목은 압축 강도, 초음파 속도 및 탄성계수로 설정하였으며, 재령 1, 3, 7 및 28일마다 설정한 항목을 측정하였다. 실험 결과, NHT 치환율이 증가함에 따라 역학적 특성은 감소하는 경향을 보였으며. 또한, 압축 강도와 초음파 속도의 상관관계 분석 결과 상관계수(R²)는 NHT를 혼합한 콘크리트의 경우 약 0.95로 높은 관계성을 보였다.

It is required that the compressive strength of concrete should be estimated accurately from the view point of efficient quality control and maintenance of buildings. In this paper, the equations to estimate the compressive strength of concrete using granite aggregates were suggested for both rebound hammer method and ultrasonic pulse velocity method. The results were compared with those for different age or curing condition. The rebound numbers for concrete cured in air were larger than for concrete cured in water. The difference between rebound numbers for concrete cured in water and in air was larger than for concrete cured in water. The difference between rebound numbers for concrete cured in water and in air was larger when water cement ratio was high. Also, with the increase of age, the velocity of ultrasonic pulse for concrete cured in air was measured larger when compared with that in water.

Concrete has been recognized as a material which is resistant to high temperatures, but chemicophysical property of concrete is changed by the high temperature. So, mechanical properties of concrete may be reduced. So, concrete at high temperature is evaluated mechanical properties for safety inspection. However, research of ultrasonic method is not much. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to NDT(non-destructive test) of 30, 70, 110MPa concrete exposed high temperature using ultrasonic pulse velocity.

Measurement of elastic constants is crucial for engineering aspects of predicting the behavior of materials under load as well as structural health monitoring of material degradation. Ultrasonic velocity measurement for material properties has been broadly used as a nondestructive evaluation method for material characterization. In particular, pulse-echo method has been extensively utilized as it is not only simple but also effective when only one side of the inspected objects is accessible. However, the conventional technique in this approach measures longitudinal and shear waves individually to obtain their velocities. This produces a set of two data for each measurement. This paper proposes a simultaneous sensing system of longitudinal waves and shear waves for elastic constant measurement. The proposed system senses both these waves simultaneously as a single overlapped signal, which is then analyzed to calculate both the ultrasonic velocities for obtaining elastic constants. Therefore, this system requires just half the number of data to obtain elastic constants compared to the conventional individual measurement. The results of the proposed simultaneous measurement had smaller standard deviations than those in the individual measurement. These results validate that the proposed approach improves the efficiency and reliability of ultrasonic elastic constant measurement by reducing the complexity of the measurement system, its operating procedures, and the number of data.
