Asset Management Application (Spacetec)

• See and Measure all features in

the tunnel including Signs,

Mechanical, Electrical and

Lighting Systems

• See and measure changes of

any particular feature in

consecutive inspections of a

tunnel (via an automatic

algorithm that highlights the

change)

Post-processing/Analysis (PSPA)

PSPA conducts two Analyses:Modulus analysis: determines the variation in modulus with depth of the exposed layer in the field (USW Method, ASTM C1383, ASTM C215)

Impact Echo (IE) tests: To obtain the frequency spectrum (as per ASTM C1383)

Source

Ultrasonic Sensors

Data Acquisition Card

and Power Supply

Temperature Sensor

Sensor 1 Sensor 2

Modulus Results:Dynamic/seismic modulus measured with PSPA can be approximately correlated with concrete strength. In general, larger modulus corresponds to larger strength.

A correlation can be obtained if compressive strength data available

IE Results:Frequency domain of the seismic waves is analyzed.Larger variations from the dominant frequency indicate delamination/debonding

Intact vs. Debonded locations can be obtained.

• AID is Spacetec’s representative and service

provider in North America.

• AID does not own the system yet!

• Scanners need to get shipped to US

• Cost depends on scan length (SL):

– Most tubes need to be scanned only once

(distance between scanner and any point <16’)

– 3.8 $/SL to 12 $/SL

• Debonding is not full-proof! It can be detected

only if sufficient temperature gradient exists

(between debonded areas and the adjacent

areas) at the time of scanning.

• Probes can be inserted into tunnel walls to

determine the most optimum time, however:

– The ideal time for scanning may not correspond to

Authority’s desired time for closure

– Requires additional closure (for probe installation)

– Costs more! 34

Limitations

• A mature/mobile system (SHRP2 study)

• A complete survey of all distresses (walls and

ceiling)

• A complete survey of all locations with

moisture intrusion

• An excellent tool for asset management

• See growth of distresses over time

• Tie profile to survey base-line

• Debonding, if sufficient temperature gradient

exists at time of scanning 35
