Inspection of Grouting Quality for Grouted Tendon Ducts Using Ground Penetrating Radar Technique

Abstract:

With the wide applications of post-tensioned concrete structures, the grouting conditions of tendon ducts are paid more attentions. In order to accurately assess the internal grouting quality of the grouted tendon ducts and certainly guarantee the lifetime of prestressed concrete structures Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), which is a kind of nondestructive testing (NDT) method, has been applied to inspect and evaluate qualitatively and quantitatively on the grouting defects, respectively. A series of in-house tests were carried out for simulating the defects of tendon ducts by foams with different sizes. The results show that the GPR technic was one of the optimal methods for inspecting the internal grouting quality of grouted tendon ducts for post-tensioned concrete structures.
