non-destructive testing (NDT) method was used in a concrete face rockfill dam (CFRD)to identify the condition of the concrete face slab and detect any existing cavities between the concreteface slab and the underlying support layer. The NDT for the concrete face slab was conductedusing the impulse response (IR) method and the electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) methodwith the application of non-destructive electrodes. Information regarding the dynamic stiffness andaverage mobility of the concrete was obtained based on the mobility-frequency of the IR method, andcavity detection under the plate structures was analyzed using the two-dimensional (2D) electricalresistivity section of the ERT method. The results of the IR method showed that zones with lowdynamic stiffness and high average mobility were expected to be found in concrete of poor qualityand in cavities beneath the concrete face slab. The results of the ERT method showed that zoneswith high resistivity were expected to be cavities between the concrete face slab and the underlyingsupport layer. As a result, the tendency toward low dynamic stiffness, high average mobility, andhigh resistivity in both methods implies unstable concrete conditions and the possible occurrence ofa cavity. The results of the two methods also showed a good correlation, and it was confirmed thatthe NDT method was reliable in terms of cavity estimation. |
