The relation between wave velocity and radio spectrum to evaluate concrete structures

Abstract

Concrete is one of the popular construction materials in the world. Performance and durability are the main factors that contribute to its demand. However, long-term issues of weakening and corrosion. In this study, three samples of rectangular beam size of 400\xa0mm\u2009×\u20091200\xa0mm\u2009×\u20096000\xa0mm are checked in terms of wave velocity, elementary, chemical and radio spectrum. Apparently, one of the beams inspected is detected with poor quality from ultrasonic pulse velocity. In addition, the defects are supported by crack evaluation and abnormalities in the samples using radio spectrum. Further check on the concrete quality is done using X-ray fluorescent techniques and carbonation reading. As a conclusion, the outcome of this findings will help to determine any structure failure and factors contributing to the problem. Finally, the relation between wave and radar analysis can identified and solved the structure elements.
