Automatisierte zerstörungsfreie Prüftechnik für großflächige Stahlbetontragwerke

Automated non-destructive inspection techniques for large reinforced concrete constructions - an example of use

In recent years a variety of non-destructive evaluation methods are more and more used for the inspection of constructions. Increasing the information value of inspections and the economic aspects of applications leads to a combination of methods on an automated system. Therefore, the BetoScan robot was developed. Gaining more experience in applications was realized with the inspection of a car park which was unused for several years. The building was made of reinforced concrete with melted asphalt as floor coating. Within the frame of the inspections eddy current, radar, ultrasound and microwaves were used. The application of the BetoScan system and the results are presented in this article.
