Recently, self-healing technologies have emerged as a promising approach to extend the
service life of social infrastructure in the field of concrete construction. However, current …

The damage in reinforced concrete (RC) structures can be induced either by the dynamic or
static load. The inspection technologies available today have difficulty in detecting slowly …

The main objective of this research is to investigate the applicability of diffuse ultrasound to
the evaluation of distributed micro-cracking damage in concrete. To simulate the micro …

This paper presents an ultrasonic method, based on the nonlinear acoustic mixing of coda
waves with lower-frequency swept pump waves, for providing an efficient global detection of …

Abstract The correlation between Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) and the diffusion of
ultrasound for the Non Destructive Evaluation of thermally damaged concrete is investigated …

In this work the non-destructive monitoring of the self-healing progress of cracked mortars is
presented through the use of three combined methods: nonlinear Coda Wave Interferometry …

The wide use of multi-component cement of highly reduced Portland clinker factor is largely
impeded by detrimental changes in the rheological properties of concrete mixes, a …

During the propagation of ultrasonic waves in structures, there is usually energy loss due to
ultrasound energy diffusion and dissipation. The aim of this research is to characterize the …

Abstract In Non-Destructive Testing and Evaluation (NDT&E), an ultrasonic method called
Nonlinear Coda Wave Interferometry (NCWI) has recently been developed to detect cracks …

The objective of this paper is to experimentally validate the previously proposed diffuse
ultrasonic technique for measuring crack depth in concrete structures. The validation …
