Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of building wall detection, and particularly relates to a method and system for nondestructive detection of diameters of corner steel bars in concrete beams and columns based on X-rays. BACKGROUND

[0002] Detection of diameters of steel bars is an important content of building structure detection and identification. According to the current standards, i.e., Technical Standard for On-site Detection of Concrete Structures GB / T 50784-2015 and Technical Standard for Detection of Steel Bars in Concrete JGJ / T 152-2019, the diameters of steel bars in building structures are detected by direct chiseling and caliper measurement, which is time-consuming and laborious. For roof beams, columns with thermal insulation and waterproof layers on the top, or columns with high-level decoration on the surface, the surface layer cannot be damaged during detection, so it is difficult to implement detection of the diameters of steel bars.

[0003] X-rays can be used for detection of diameters of steel bars in concrete structures, which has the characteristics of simple operation, high accuracy and efficiency, real-time imaging, and intuitive effect, and does not need to damage the surface high-level decoration and waterproof layer of the component, thereby realizing true nondestructive detection and having a wide application prospect in the field of building structure detection.

[0004] The effective penetration thickness of X-rays for concrete is about 300 mm, and the cross section of beam and column components is relatively large (generally greater than 500 mm), so the diameters of steel bars in the components cannot be directly detected. The number, position and thickness of the protective layer of the steel bars in the top and bottom of the concrete beam and the periphery of the concrete column can be accurately detected by using the existing magnetic sensor, and the error is not greater than 1 mm, which can fully guarantee the detection accuracy. SUMMARY

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this invention provides a method for non-destructive testing of the diameter of corner reinforcing bars in concrete beams and columns using X-rays. The system for non-destructive testing of corner reinforcing bar diameter includes: a radiation source 3, a digital plate 4, and a detector. The radiation source 3 is located on one side of the concrete beam or column 1 to be tested, and the digital plate 4 is attached to the other adjacent side of the concrete beam or column 1. X-rays generated by the radiation source 3 enter from one side of the concrete beam or column 1 and exit from the other adjacent side, forming an image of the reinforcing bar 2 on the digital plate 4. The detector is used to detect the distances from the center of the corner reinforcing bar 2 of the concrete beam or column 1 to the X-ray incident side 5 and the exiting side 6, respectively. Based on the positioning dimensions of the radiation source 3, combined with the length of the reinforcing bar 2 image and the dimensions of the distances from the incident side 5 and the exiting side 6, the diameter of the reinforcing bar 2 is calculated. The radiation source 3 used is a radiation machine, and the detector is a radar instrument or a magnetometer for detection.

[0037] The method used for non-destructive testing of the diameter of steel bars at the corners of concrete beams and columns includes the following steps:

[0038]

[0039]

S2

[0040]

S3

[0041]

S4

[0042] The diameter of the reinforcing bar is obtained by the following algorithm: d = c / (a + a1)·a·cosα

[0043] Where: d - diameter of the reinforcing bar;

[0044] c - Length of the rebar image;

[0045] a - The distance from the ray source to the center of the reinforcing bar in a direction parallel to the incident side;

[0046] a1 - The distance from the center of the detected corner reinforcement to the side of the projectile;

[0047] b - The distance from the radiation source to the incident side of the concrete beam or column is measured by the detector;

[0048] b1 - The distance from the center of the reinforcing bar to the incident side detected by the detector;

[0049] α is the emission angle of the ray source, which can be calculated using the following formula:

[0050]

[0051] from Figure 1 As can be seen, a1 and b1 are the dimensions of the protective layer for the corner reinforcement. This invention eliminates the need for destructive treatment of the protective layer; by combining a detector, X-ray machine, and digital panel, the position and diameter of the corner reinforcement can be accurately measured. According to the system provided by this invention, the detection of two reinforcement bars at the beam corner and three reinforcement bars at the column corner can be achieved without damaging the decorative surface, making implementation more convenient.

[0052] To more conveniently and accurately calculate the diameter of the internal reinforcing bars, this invention also includes an acquisition module and a calculation module in the system. These modules can be installed on a mobile terminal or data processor. The calculation module embeds a reinforcing bar diameter algorithm, which can be combined with the aforementioned algorithm for calculation. Simultaneously, the distance from the X-ray source to the incident side of the concrete beam or column is measured by a detector, as is the distance from the center of the reinforcing bar to the incident side detected by the detector. The acquisition module collects data on the length of the reinforcing bar image, the distance from the center of the reinforcing bar to the incident and exit sides, and the position of the X-ray source. The calculation module then quickly calculates the diameter of the reinforcing bar.

[0053] Anything not mentioned above applies to existing technologies.

[0054] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely example for clearly illustrating but not limitation to the embodiments. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made by those skilled in the art. Here, all the embodiments need not and can not be enumerated.
