Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of civil engineering quality detection, and more specifically relates to a post-construction ultrasonic detection method for foamed concrete on the back of a high-fill platform. Background Art

[0002] The back of the abutment refers to a section of the connecting roadbed that connects the main roadbed on one or both sides of the abutment or culvert. The connecting roadbed has higher requirements than the main roadbed, and its compaction degree reaches 96% or more. The filling material of the connecting roadbed needs to use gravel soil or sandy soil with good permeability. Compared with the traditional back of the abutment, the high-fill foam concrete back of the abutment is filled with high-performance lightweight foam concrete, and one or more reinforcement layers are usually provided in the lower layer of the roadbed. Foam concrete, also known as foamed cement, is a lightweight, heat-insulating, heat-insulating, fire-resistant, sound-insulating and frost-resistant concrete material. It is used in embankment filling and has the advantages of effectively reducing soil load, reducing roadbed settlement deformation and solving the problem of bridgehead jumping. The traditional detection method requires pre-burying detection pipes or drilling holes on the surface of the roadbed before roadbed construction, but this method cannot be applied to the detection of high-fill abutment foam concrete that has been completed and put into normal use. A nondestructive testing method for bubble-mixed lightweight soil embankment with publication number CN107870201A is a method of applying ultrasonic testing to the quality testing of bubble-mixed lightweight soil roadbed, but it is also unable to test the roadbed that has been completed and opened to traffic.
