The paper analyzes the influence of defects detected in a monolithic base slab on the possibility of its further application in the construction of a 25-storey high-rise frame building. Non destructive testing and vertical core sampling techniques are used for the detailed analysis of the monolithic base slab. It is found that irregularities in the procedure during winter concreting of the base slab decreases the strength properties of concrete and provides the defect formation in the slab structure, namely delamination of the lower protective concrete layer and uncovering of working reinforcement. For the safe use of the 25-storey high-rise building, the base slab is proposed to be strengthened by adding in-situ reinforced concrete layer 100 cm thick.

This paper presents the results of feasibility study into the application of the wavelet transform signal processing method to sonic based non-destructive testing techniques. Finite element generated data from cast in situ foundation piles were collated and processed using both continuous and discrete wavelet transform techniques. Results were compared with conventional Fourier based methods. The discrete Daubechies wavelets and the continuous Mexican hat wavelet were used and their relative merits investigated. It was found that both the continuous Mexican hat and discrete Daubechies D8 wavelets were significantly better at locating the pile toe compared than the Fourier filtered case. The wavelet transform method was then applied to field test data and found to be successful in facilitating the detection of the pile toe.

Ultrasonic non-destructive testing methods such as Impact-echo are often conducted under different conditions. Such results might be distorted by ambient temperature or by water content of the tested sample. Tested mortar sample displayed shift of the fundamental frequency by 3.7 %. This article confirms necessity of standardized conditions during ultrasonic testing for both laboratory and in-situ testing.
