Quality of NDT measurements and accuracy of concrete physical properties

چکیده
Assessing concrete condition is of major interest either for looking at weak or more damaged areas, or for reliability computations. NDT measurements provide an interesting way offering a quick overview on the material condition. One of their main drawback is that their results cannot be directly linked with material properties. This paper presents how a collaborative research program has been developed such as : (a) to select the best appropriate measurement techniques, (b) identify calibration laws enabling the material condition assessment, (c) identify possible interesting combination sets of techniques. This strategy is applied to laboratory specimen data as well as to on site data. Résumé L’évaluation des propriétés du béton est du plus grand intérêt, qu’il s’agisse de détecter des zones endommagées ou altérées ou que l’on souhaite calculer la fiabilité de la structure. Les mesures CND offrent une voie intéressante d’analyse. Une de leur faiblesse principale est que leurs résultats ne sont pas reliés directement aux propriétés des matériaux. Cet article présente comment un projet de recherche collaborative a été développé pour : (a) sélectionner les techniques les plus appropriées, (b) identifier des lois de calibration qui permettent d’évaluer l’état du matériau, (c) identifier d’intéressantes combinaisons potentielles de mesure. Cette stratégie a été appliquée à la fois à des spécimens de laboratoire et à des ouvrages in situ.
