Application of compactness detection to complicated concrete-filled steel tube by ultrasonic method

Abstract

An example of using ultrasonic method to detect the compactness of complicated concrete-filled steel tube in certain high-rise building was discussed in this study. Because of the particularity of the complicated concrete-filled steel tubular column, the plane detection method and embedded sounding pipe method were adopted in the process of effectively detecting the column. According to the results of the plane detection method and embedded sounding pipe method, the cementing status of steel tube and concrete can be concluded, which cannot be judged by the hammering method in the rectangular steel tube-reinforced concrete.

Keywords
