The Detection and Analysis of Reservoir Dam Crack Depth and Grouting Quality Analysis

Abstract:

Ultrasonic method is a considerably mature method to test the defects of concrete. As for a certain dam deep crack with merely one test surface, the operations can be done such as drilling holes on both crack sides, filling clean water as coupling agent and finally the crack depth is tested with cross-hole sonic logging, subsequently, the data processing and depth judgment with the test principle of the said method. The result manifests that before grouting treatment, the measured dam crack depth is 1.2~9.0m, and the tested point wave shape has not been obviously abnormal and the criterions of wave amplitude and wave speed against the intact local concrete remain no greater differences and the cracks grout in the tested zone are generally solid after the grouting.
