Application of Impact-Echo Method in Grouting Inspection in Ducts inside Prefabricated Box Girder

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on basic principle of detection using impact-echo method, in combination with urgent demand of grouting quality inspection in ducts inside post tensioning type prefabricated box girder in bridge engineering, impact-echo method has been used for non-destructive detection of grouting compactness in pre-stressed ducts inside prefabricated box girder. Verification by beating away measuring points shows that the impact-echo method can accurately locate metal corrugated pipes and qualitatively judge grouting compactness inside prefabricated box girder ducts, to allow effective inspection of grouting quality in strands of pre-stressed ducts.
