*Impact Echo Scanning (IES) investigations are performed on large
structural members with smooth concrete where shallow voids, honeycomb,
cracking or delaminations are of primary concern.
The Impact Echo Scanning (IES) system is designed
for large area investigations of shallow voids, debonding/delamination,
cracking, or honeycomb often found between an overlay on a bridge deck
or surrounding dense rebar mats. IES is commonly used in locating post-tensioning
(PT) cables used in reinforcing various structures and determining
duct grout condition. The scanning technology allows tracing of the
PT cables through slabs and beams. An advantage of the IES method is
that only one side of the structure needs to be accessible for testing.
The IES Method is based on the Olson
Engineering patented technology of a rolling transducer and
automated impactor for near-continuous Impact Echo based thickness
and flaw scanning of structural concrete and pavements. Performed
at slow walking speeds, test results are obtained every inch (25
mm) in a line and multiple lines can be combined for 2-D to 3-D
displays of concrete thickness and locations of internal void, honeycomb,
cracking, delamination, etc. The scanning method is capable of determining
bottom echo thicknesses up to ~ 40 inches (1 m).
