The sensitivity of coda wave interferrometry in concrete structures in different scattering regimes

Fröjd, Patrik LU and Ulriksen, Peter LU (2016) European Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring, 2016 1. p.378-387
Abstract

Coda wave interferometry (CWI) has been demonstrated to be a very sensitive tool for detecting early signs of damage in concrete. The choice of frequency in SHM applications, utilizing coda waves, is not straight-forward, as there is a trade-off in sensitivity and possible propagation distances. This study aims to provide some steps in establishing recommendations as to choice of frequency, when designing CWI SHM systems, based on expected size of damage and size of the monitored structure. To this end codas with widely different central frequencies were used to detect boreholes at different relative locations in the concrete. The results suggest that, for damage which can be simulated by drilled holes on the scale of a few mm, signals... (More)

Coda wave interferometry (CWI) has been demonstrated to be a very sensitive tool for detecting early signs of damage in concrete. The choice of frequency in SHM applications, utilizing coda waves, is not straight-forward, as there is a trade-off in sensitivity and possible propagation distances. This study aims to provide some steps in establishing recommendations as to choice of frequency, when designing CWI SHM systems, based on expected size of damage and size of the monitored structure. To this end codas with widely different central frequencies were used to detect boreholes at different relative locations in the concrete. The results suggest that, for damage which can be simulated by drilled holes on the scale of a few mm, signals in the range of 50-150 kHz is suitable for SHM applications in large concrete structures.
