| Research Abstract |
The following results can be drawn in this study.
(1) The system of ultrasonic spectrum analysis is not always linear and the response function is influenced by the property of transducer, the acoustically coupling method between transducer and concrete and the shape and the size of specimen. But this method is considered to be effective to evaluate the quality of concrete non-destructively.
(2) The higher frequencies of the transmitted ultrasonic pulse came to attenuate when the quality of concrete was poor or the specimens were deteriorated by ASR severely. In addition, the higher frequency came to attenuate with the increment of maximum size of coarse aggregate.
(3) Immediately after vibrating compaction,the wave energy through fresh concrete had increased by 10-20 dB than concrete compacted by the tamping rod. Pulse velocity of concrete compacted by vibrating was 100 -300 m/s for the distance of 10 cm. However, the time of propagation could not measured for the distance of 30 cm because the amplitude of pulse through fresh concrete was very small. This velocity is significantly larger than the theoretical estimate. It is easy to assess the degree of compaction for fresh concrete by the ultrasonic spectroscopy than the pulse velocity.
