Why NDT?
Strength on concrete depends on material, proper mixing & also workmanship at the time of placing
Conventional methods of testing of concrete does provide solution to assess actual strength or internal structure after hardening of concrete
In some cases, it required to assess of concrete damaged due to fire or any other natural calamity due judge the condition of structure

Application of NDT
quality control of pre-cast units or construction in situ
confirming or negating doubt concerning the workmanship involved in batching, mixing, placing, compacting or curing of concrete
location and determination of the extent of cracks, voids, honeycombing and similar defects within a concrete structure
determining the position, quantity or condition of reinforcement
confirming or locating suspected deterioration of concrete resulting from such factors as
overloading, fatigue, external or internal chemical attack or change, fire, explosion, environmental effect

USPV Test
This test is used for determination of the uniformity of concrete in and between members.
Reference code: IS 13311Part I 199 Principle:the velocity of an ultrasonic pulse
through any material depends upon the density, modulus of elasticity and Poisson’s ratio of the material.
Higher is the velocity, better is the quality of concrete

SCHMIDT REBOUND HAMMER TEST
The Schmidt rebound hammer is basically a surface hardness tester.
IS: 13311 (Part 2): 1992 & BS 1881: Part 202: 1986
Principle :the rebound of an elastic mass depends on the hardness of the surface against which mass strikes.

Contd… Rebound Hammer
Non-Destructive Testing on Concrete Structures - A Case Study

Equipment: It Consist of a spring control hammer that slides on a plunger within a tubular housing. When the plunger is pressed against the surface of the concrete, the mass rebound from the plunger. It reacts against the force of spring. The Distance travelled by the mass, is called rebound number.

CARBONATION DEPTH MEASUREMENT TEST
Carbonation of concrete occurs when the carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere in the presence of moisture, reacts with hydrated cement minerals to produce carbonates
Due alkaline nature of concrete, reinforcement is protected from corrosion. This is neutralized by carbonation, thus reinforcement becomes prone to in presence moisture and oxygen.

Contd… Carbonation Test
The extent of carbonation is determined by testing concrete surface with a 1% phenolphthalein solution
The 1% phenolthalein solution is made by dissolving 1gm of phenolthalein in 90 cc of ethanol & the making it to 100cc by adding distilled water.
Change in colour is observed after test: No change in colour layer: Carbonation
affected Purple: No cabonation has taken place

HALF-CELL ELECTRICAL POTENTIAL METHOD This test is used to assess the corrosion conditions
in a reinforced concrete structure. ASTM C876 - 91 The apparatus includes copper-copper sulphate
half-cell, connecting wires and a high impedance voltmeter
external cathode is provided in the form of copper rod and copper sulphate solution in the cell. Any point on reinforcement bar inside the concrete body functioning as anode when connected electrically to cathodic half-cell generates e.m.f. This is measured by connecting a milli voltmeter in the circuit

This test is used to assess the location and diameter of reinforcement bars and concrete cover.
Principle: based measurement of change of an elctromagnetic field caused by steel embedded in the concrete.
Equipment: profometer comprise a search head, meter and interconnecting cable. The concrete surface is scanned, with the search head kept in contact with it while the meter indicates, by analogue or digital means, the proximity of reinforcement

Conclusion :
Various NDT methods can be used depending upon the type & age of structure to check the integrity of structure.
USPV, rebound hammer & covermeter can be applied to newly constructed structures to check the quality of concrete adequacy of cover before applying live load to the structures.
Half cell potentiometer & carbonation test can be applied to old structure to acess to carbonation depth & amount of corrosion occurred.

Limitation:
Lack of access, especially inside silo structures is a serious limitation in assessing the integrity of silo walls
Slabs are covered with water proofing membrane, it becomes difficult to get accurate through NDT.
If spalling or cracks are observed ,concrete remains no longer homogeneous, and tests like UPSV & rebound hammer becomes inapplicable, equipments for NDT are not made in India.
Equipments are very costly and not easily available.
