This paper deals with the determination of selected parameters (the thickness and the dynamic modulus of elasticity) of concrete structures by non-destructive methods. Short overview of the literature, the description of used methods, measuring devices used during the tests, the descriptions of examined structures, and obtained results are mentioned. Two independent methods (the Ultrasonic Method and the Resonant Method, in some case with the combination of the Phase Velocity Method), had been used for determination of required parameters of structures. The results had been in good coincidence with the values mentioned in the literature. At the end of the paper, obtained results are summarized and future plans are presented.

Nondestructive testing (NDT) is a technique to determine the integrity of a material, component or structure. The commonly NDT methods used for the concrete are dynamic modulus of elasticity and ultrasonic pulse velocity. The dynamic modulus of elasticity of concrete is related to the structural stiffness and deformation process of concrete structures, and is highly sensitive to the cracking. The velocity of ultrasonic pulses travelling in a solid material depends on the density and elastic properties of that material. Non-destructive testing namely, dynamic modulus of elasticity and ultrasonic pulse velocity was measured for high strength concrete incorporating cementitious composites. Results of dynamic modulus of elasticity and ultrasonic pulse velocity are reported and their relationships with compressive strength are presented. It has been found that NDT is reasonably good and reliable tool to measure the property of concrete which also gives the fair indication of the compressive strength development.

O objetivo deste estudo foi de avaliar os tipos de ondas gerados por dois modelos de transdutores utilizados para determinação do módulo de elasticidade dinâmico por meio de ensaios com ultrassom e correlacioná-los ao módulo de elasticidade estático obtido por compressão paralela às fibras. Para tanto, utilizou-se um aparelho de ultrassom dotado de transdutores faces planas e de pontos secos com freqüência de 50 kHz. A velocidade ultra-sônica foi determinada ao considerar a transmissão da onda ao longo do comprimento de amostras de madeira com dimensões nominais de 5 x 5 x 20 cm. Para avaliar a sensibilidade do método ultra-sonoro e os tipos de ondas gerados pelos respectivos transdutores, as amostras foram ensaiadas destrutivamente à compressão paralela, com determinação do módulo de elasticidade por ambas metodologias. Apesar da diferença de valores absolutos do módulo de elasticidade entre os ensaios de ultrassom com transdutores faces planas, que geraram ondas longitudinais, e os ensaios de compressão paralela, em função da natureza viscoelástica da madeira, verificou-se uma boa correlação entre os dados. Com relação ao uso dos transdutores pontos secos, que geraram ondas de superfície, não foi verificada boa correlação com os ensaios destrutivos.Palavras-chave:  Ondas longitudinais; ondas de superfície; transdutores de faces planas; transdutores de pontos secos; ensaios não-destrutivos. AbstractEvaluation of wavess generated for two models of transducers for determining the dynamic modulus of elasticity. This study aimed to evaluate the types of waves generated for two transducers used for determining the dynamic modulus of elasticity by tests with ultrasound and to correlate them to the static modulus of elasticity obtained by parallel compression. For this study ultrasonic equipment with planes faces and point-contact transducers of 50 kHz was used. The ultrasonic speed was determined considering the transmission of the wave along the length of the samples with nominal dimensions of 5 x 5 x 20 cm. To evaluate the sensitivity of the ultrasonic method and the types of waves generated for the transducers, samples were submitted to destructive conventional parallel compression, with determination of the elasticity modulus for both methodologies. Although the difference of absolute values between tests of ultrasound with transducers planes faces, that generated longitudinal waves, and parallel compression, due to wood viscoelastic nature, there was a good correlation between the obtained data. It was not observed good correlation between the use of point-contact transducers, which generated surface waves, and the destructive tests.Keywords:Longitudinal waves; surface waves; planes faces transducers; point-contact transducers; not-destructive methods.

The deterioration on sulfate attack was investigated both in physical crystallization and the chemical erosion. Specimens that suffered long-term immersion and dry-wet cycles in saturated sodium sulfate solution are compared to trace the physical attack. And the chemical erosion was conducted by comparing specimens which have been suffered long-term immersion in saturated sodium sulfate solution and saturated limestone solution. In the investigation, the non-destructive detecting indexes, such as the ultrasonic velocity, and the dynamic modulus of elasticity were measured. The permeability, the porosity and mechanical strength at 28-day age were measured. The flexural/compressive strength was measured after 90 wet-dry cycles. And then all the specimens were cut into cubes to take the measure of compressive strength. Based on the experiments, feasibility of various parameters, such permeability, relative dynamic modulus of elasticity, ultrasonic velocity and relative flexural/compressive strength, were investigated to evaluate the concrete deterioration. The results indicate that there is a close relationship between the deterioration by sulfate attack and concrete permeability, so the reduction of permeability is effective in promoting the resistance. The index of the resistance expressed by the dynamic modulus of elasticity ratio is comparable to that expressed by the relative flexural strength. A novel method was suggested in evaluating concrete by sulfate attack, namely, combined with some mechanical tests, the parameter of relative dynamic modulus of elasticity can be used to evaluate the deterioration; the permeability denoted as the amount of transporting charges within 6 hours can be used to evaluate the properties to sulfate attack.

One way to improve the properties of soils is their reinforcement by different geosynthetic materials. Difficulty an objective assessment of the effectiveness of the use of geosynthetics in construction is its one of the reasons preventing their wider application. Conducting research aimed at studying the work of geosynthetic materials in the construction of foundations and their interaction with the ground, is a very costly and time consuming practice. The tests of reinforced soil structures for transport construction, which are influenced by dynamic loads are particularly complex. Geosynthetics can significantly improve the deformation characteristics of reinforced soil bases. Therefore, the use of different express methods for determination of deformation characteristics of reinforced soil bases is very important. Method using the dynamic densitometer is a new express methods for determining the deformation characteristics of subgrade. «Meter ground dynamic modulus DPG-1.2» was used as an apparatus for determining the dynamic modulus of elasticity Ed on the ground surface Dynamic modulus of elasticity Ed has a correlation dependence with a coefficient of compaction and static modulus of elasticity Est . One application of geosynthetic material in road construction is their use in the construction of temporary roads. Therefore, the construction of temporary road, representing a layer of sand of various thickness on the reinforcing geosynthetic interlayer modeled in this work. The carcass geogrid KS-16 «Rossomaha» production on JSC ««Krasnokamsk Metal Mesh Works» «and geotextile Geospan TN-50 manufactured by Ltd «HEXA-woven materials» were used as reinforcing geosynthetics. This article presents the results of the determination of the static modulus of elasticity Est and dynamic elasticity modulus Ed soil reinforced by geosynthetic material and soil without reinforcement using DPG-1.2 device. As a result of the experiment shows that the modulus values obtained with the express method of using the device-DPG 1.2 are comparable with the values of data obtained by the laboratory method, the measurement error does not exceed 22 %. For backfill thicknesses h = 50 mm use the carcass geogrid KS-16 can increase Est by 23 % and Ed by 14 % compared with the unreinforced base. Using the geotextile Hexa TN-50 can increase Est by 15.5 % and Ed by 11 % compared with the unreinforced base. Increasing the thickness backfill h up to 100 mm is practically not reduce the effectiveness of the reinforcement carcass geogrid KS-16 «Rosomaha» - static modulus E st is increased by 22 % and dynamic modulus Ed by 14 % compared to the unreinforced base. And for the geotextile Hexa TH-50 at h = 100 mm reinforcement efficiency is greatly reduced - the value Est and Ed only increased by 2.5 % compared with the unreinforced base. This is probably caused by a significantly greater rigidity carcass geogrid KS-16 «Rosomaha» Thus DPG-1.2 device allows accurately measure the deformation characteristics of soil bases. The use of specialized carcass geogrids KS-16 «Rossomaha «more effectively in the construction of temporary roads in comparison with universal geosynthetics Hexa TN-50.
