A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The purpose of this project is to develop methods to non-destructively evaluate the condition of concrete components of bridges, including columns, foundation elements and bridge piers by extending guided wave theory to flexural wave propagation in concrete columns and piles and to longitudinal and flexural waves in embedded plates (representing cast-in-place and soil mixed walls). A theory based on guided waves, describing the relation between frequency and group velocity of the frequency-controlled excitations, has been developed for longitudinal wave propagation in culindrical members to allow higher frequencies to be used to non-destructively evaluate such members, and consequently, to identify smaller defects than possible with conventional techniques.
