The aim of this paper is to evaluate the possibility of using the Impact-echo method for assessment of extremely long period of frost resistance of ceramic tiles. Sets of ceramic tiles of the Ia class to EN 14 411 B standard made by manufacture RACOs have been analyzed. The ceramic tiles under investigation have been subjected to 500 freeze-thaw-cycle based degradation in compliance with the relevant EN ISO 10545-12 standard. To verify the correctness of the Impact-echo method results, additional physical properties of the ceramic tiles under test have been measured. To analyze the specimen surface condition, we also used Olympus LEXT 3100 confocal scanning microscope. It has been proved that the acoustic method Impact-echo is a sensitive indicator of the structure condition and can be applied to the ceramic cladding element frost resistance and service life prediction assessment.

Impact Echo Method

To identify shield grouting quality based on impact echo method, an impact echo test of segment-grouting (SG) test piece was carried out to explore effect of acoustic impedance of grouting layers and grouting defects on impact echo law. A finite element numerical simulation on the impact echo process was implemented. Test results and simulation results were compared. Results demonstrated that, under some working conditions, finite element simulation results and test results both agree with theoretical values. The acoustic impedance ratio of SG material influenced the echo characteristics significantly. But thickness frequency could not be detected under some working conditions because the reflected energy is weak. Frequency feature under grouting defects was more complicated than that under no grouting defects.

The ultrasonic method and the impact-echo method are two kinds of nondestructive test method (NDT), which are widely used, not only for concrete component, but for masonry structures. However, it is hard to detect the flaw in the concrete composite component if only with one kind of detection method. In this study, the principle of ultrasonic method and impact-echo method are outlined. And an attempt of a new method is taken, that Ultrasonic method together with Impact-echo method is used in detecting the deflection in Concrete Composite Component. It is proved that the result of this new method is more accurate and stable than that of only using ultrasonic method or impact-echo method. Introduction Introduction
