Abstract

The non-destructive characterization of structures is a common way to assess the potential resistance of a concrete structure by propagation of ultrasonic waves. This technique allows access to speed or even attenuation and frequency spectra to diagnose pathology or a condition of the material. The ultimate knowledge of the propagation of ultrasonic waves in concrete and the advantages that can bring from a theoretical point of view becomes essential to consider on-site controls and to make choices of control procedures or parameters.

In this work, we are interested in the statistical analysis of the variability of concrete strength. (16 × 16 × 32) cm3 cylindrical specimens are used. To detect damage in concrete elements, we use ultrasonic velocity analysis. Then mechanical tests (compression test) to determine the average characteristic resistance fc of our concrete.
