Concrete structures are constantly deteriorating naturally. In this sense, the use of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is an interesting strategy for the monitoring and evaluation of the state of these structures without harming their appearance or performance. Ultrasound is one of the most commonly used NDTs and structural evaluation through this method is advantageous due to its low cost, …
One of concerns in precast concrete industry is to ensure the strength of concrete in the early ages in order to optimize the productivity anticipating tasks like prestress transference and demolding of elements. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct tests in order to provide a technological control of the concrete that is being applied. The main characteristic of non-destructive tests (N…
Corrosion of reinforcement in concrete structures presents a significant challenge, impacting the long-term performance and safety of these constructions. Early detection of corrosion is crucial for cost-effective maintenance and the prevention of structural collapse. Various Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques, particularly ultrasonic methods, show promise in early corrosion detecti…
Throughout history, building collapses resulting from propagation of local failures (progressive collapse), have caused numerous disasters. Extensive research has been dedicated to exploring secondary load-resisting mechanisms to mitigate this risk. One potential alternative that has recently garnered attention is the contribution of infill walls. However, uncertainties and sim-plificatio…
Ultrasonic tests has been widely applied for the evaluation of concrete elements since they do not generate any damage in the inspected structure. In a simple analysis, the fast detection of non-homogeneities of the structure is one of the achievements of the ultrasound., The analysis of ultrasound results has gained complexity with the support of mathematical tools and computational data…
The theory of acoustoelasticity relates the propagation velocity of elastic waves in a solid and its stress state. Even though researches applying the theory of acoustoelasticity to rocks, concrete and metallic elements have already been published, the development of this theory applied to masonry elements is not significant. The objective of this project is to investigate the application…
This work aims to study the influence of flanges in behavior of masonry walls subjected to horizontal loading. The importance of this study is related by the fact that in a masonry building the walls are almost never isolated, i. e., without transversal walls. Transversal walls (flanges) increase the stiffness of the structural system and significantly improve the lateral capacity of the …
Ultrasound tests have been widely applied for the evaluation of concrete elements since they cause no damage to the inspected structure. Fast detection of non-homogeneities of the structure in a simple analysis and the generation of tomographic images of internal sections in a more complex analysis are among of its achievements. Concrete tomography research involves various image reconstr…
