Abstract

Reinforced concrete bridge decks are the first to be damaged by vehicle loads and rain infiltration. Concrete deterioration primarily occurs owing to the corrosion of rebars and other metal components by chlorides used for snow and ice melting. The structural condition and concrete deterioration of the bridge decks within the pavement were evaluated using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey data. To evaluate concrete deterioration in bridges, it is necessary to develop GPR data analysis techniques to accurately identify deteriorated locations and rebar positions. GPR exploration involves the acquisition of reflection and diffraction wave signals due to differences in radar wave propagation velocity in geotechnical media. Therefore, a full-waveform inversion (FWI) method was developed to evaluate the deterioration of reinforced concrete bridge decks by estimating the radar wave propagation velocity in geotechnical media using GPR data. Numerical experiments using a GPR velocity model confirmed the deterioration phenomena of bridge decks, such as concrete delamination and rebar corrosion, verifying the applicability of the developed technology. Moreover, using the synthetic GPR data, FWI facilitates the determination of rebar positions and concrete deterioration locations using inverted velocity images.

철근 콘크리트 교량 바닥판은 차량 하중과 우수침투 등으로 가장 먼저 손상이 발생하며 제설염화물 등으로 인한 철근 및 기타 금속 부재가 부식되면서 콘크리트 열화가 주로 발생한다. 교량 바닥판의 시공 상태 및 포장 내부 바닥판의 열화는 지표투과레이더(ground-penetrating radar, GPR) 탐사 자료를 이용하여 평가하고 있다. 교량의 콘크리트 열화 상태를 평가하기 위해서는 철근의 위치 및 열화 지점을 정확하게 파악하기 위한 GPR 자료 해석 기술 개발이 필요하다. GPR 탐사에서는 지반 매질의 레이더파 전파 속도 차이에 의한 반사 및 회절파 신호를 취득한다. 그러므로 이 연구에서는 GPR 탐사 자료를 이용해서 지반 매질의 레이더파 전파 속도를 추정하고 교량 바닥판의 열화를 평가하기 위한 완전파형역산(full-waveform inversion, FWI) 기술을 개발하였다. 개발된 FWI 기술의 적용성은 콘크리트 박리 및 철근 부식과 같은 교량 바닥판 열화현상을 보여주는 GPR 속도 모델을 만들어서 수치 실험을 수행하여 검증하였다. 합성 GPR 자료로 역산한 결과 교량 바닥판의 철근 위치와 열화 지점을 역산으로 계산된 속도 영상으로 확인할 수 있었다.
