Characterization of reinforced concrete with high content of fibers by ultrasonic imaging (HORFIUS)

  • Proyecto
  • Resultados

The purpose of the project is clearly interdisciplinary. This is a coordinated project addressing applied research tasks related to the development of building materials, non-destructive testing by acoustic and electromagnetic techniques and the technology associated with them.

The environment that integrates all these elements is the analysis, characterization and optimization of concrete with high content of steel fiber. Therefore, the purpose of this project is to get better materials and to apply them in new construction environments.

Objectives:

  • To evaluate the system of generation of ultrasonic tomographic images in transmission, this allows having 3D information of the state of the material in real time.
  • Integration and fusion of the non-destructive evaluation techniques (radar and ultrasonic imaging).

SimNDT: Simulation of ultrasonic wave propagation

SimNDT is software developed by the research group to simulation of ultrasonic wave propagation. This is able to simulate ultrasonic NDT inspection systems: Pulse-echo, Through-Transmission, Linear Scan, Radial Scan and Tomography; also capable to generate or import different types of geometric scenarios and export simulation results in mat-file format for further processing.

Examples of simulation
