Abstract:

This report describes work on laboratory and field performance reviews of an ultrasonic shear wave imaging device called MIRA ; for application to plain and reinforced concrete infrastructure components. Potential applications investigated included bridge ; deck delamination detection, deck thickness profiles, and detection of internal steel bars and dowels. Based on the observed ; performance of the unit, three classification categories of applications were defined: field ready, potentially ready, and ; challenging. In general, the MIRA device is not well suited to provide full-coverage rapid scans over an entire structure. Rather ; MIRA is more suited for targeted inspection or failure analysis to determine general geometric and internal features of concrete ; elements because MIRA is able to be quickly deployed for spot inspections with little site preparation. A user’s manual was ; produced to assist in introducing new users to the proper operation and interpretation of the MIRA device.
