Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nondestructive testing of concrete structures, and in particular to a concrete crack detection method based on coupling of infrared thermal field and Rayleigh wave field. Background Art

[0002] As one of the most widely used materials in modern construction, the structural safety of concrete directly determines the lifespan and use function of the project. Cracks, as the most common form of concrete damage, are not only a channel for water and corrosive media to invade, but also a cause of reduced structural bearing capacity.

[0003] Accurate detection and quantitative evaluation of cracks have become a core issue in the field of engineering safety. Although the current mainstream detection technologies all have significant limitations, they are as follows: Infrared thermal imaging is limited by the low thermal diffusion coefficient of concrete and can only detect shallow cracks (<5cm), and is easily affected by ambient temperature and wind speed. The Rayleigh wave method is sensitive to deep cracks, but is affected by the near-field effect and has a low resolution in shallow layers. The impact echo method requires densely arranged grids to ensure coverage, and its efficiency is low and it is difficult to meet the comprehensive detection needs of large volumes of concrete; the ultrasonic method has strict requirements on surface flatness, and the signal attenuation is serious on rough or wet surfaces; the penetration depth of geological radar electromagnetic waves in concrete is limited by the shielding effect of the steel mesh.

[0004] In summary, it is difficult to achieve full-depth, high-precision, non-destructive detection of concrete cracks with existing technologies. This invention aims to break through the limitations of a single method and provide a new generation of solutions for engineering health diagnosis by coupling infrared thermal field with Rayleigh wave field and combining it with three-dimensional modeling technology. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the problem of accurate detection and quantitative evaluation of concrete cracks, the present invention provides a concrete crack detection method based on the coupling of infrared thermal field and Rayleigh wave field. Through the coupling detection of infrared thermal field and Rayleigh wave field, the seamless connection of shallow cracks and deep cracks is achieved, and a three-dimensional visualized crack model is constructed to solve the problems of low efficiency, poor accuracy and incomplete coverage of traditional methods. The present invention is suitable for the rapid positioning, size measurement and three-dimensional visualization of shallow cracks (<5 cm) and deep cracks (≥5 cm).

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a concrete crack detection method based on infrared thermal field and Rayleigh wave field coupling, comprising the following steps: Step S1: Use infrared thermal imaging to comprehensively scan the concrete in the target area, continuously record the changes in the temperature field on the concrete surface, and identify the location of concrete cracks through sudden changes in temperature gradient; concrete cracks are divided into shallow cracks, deep cracks, and cracks in the boundary area; Step S2: For superficial cracks, calculate the depth of superficial cracks based on the simplified model of the one-dimensional heat conduction equation; Step S3: For deep cracks, arrange multi-channel sensors perpendicular to the trend of deep cracks, excite Rayleigh waves to record the time-domain waveform, determine the cut-off frequency through the mutation point of the spectral ratio curve, and calculate the depth of deep cracks; Step S4: For cracks in the junction area, simultaneously use the infrared thermography method and the Rayleigh wave method to detect the depth of cracks in the junction area. If the depth error < 10%, take the average value detected by the infrared thermography method and the Rayleigh wave method; otherwise, optimize the parameters and re-detect; Step S5: For superficial cracks, deep cracks and cracks in the junction area, extract the amplitude attenuation characteristics of Rayleigh waves and calculate the crack width; based on the time difference of the arrival time of the first wave in the time-domain waveform, invert the crack dip angle; Step S6: Superimpose the detection results of the infrared thermography method and the Rayleigh wave detection results, and use the linear interpolation algorithm to construct a three-dimensional visual crack model; Step S7: Input the crack position in Step S1, the depth of cracks in Steps S2 to S4, the crack width and crack dip angle in Step S5, and the three-dimensional visual crack model in Step S6 to generate a large-volume concrete crack detection report.

[0007] Further, in Step S1, use the infrared thermography method to comprehensively scan the concrete in the target area, continuously record the change of the concrete surface temperature field, and identify the concrete crack position through the mutation of the temperature gradient. The specific process is as follows: Step S11, use the pulsed heat source of the infrared thermograph to instantaneously heat the surface of the concrete in the target area, and immediately start the infrared thermograph after heating to continuously record the change of the concrete surface temperature field; Step S12, extract the data of the change of the concrete surface temperature field after heating, and calculate the temperature gradient of each pixel point through formula (1), expressed as: (1); In the formula, represents the temperature difference of any point on the surface of the concrete in the target area; represents the highest temperature of the point; is the lowest temperature of the point; Step S13, set the threshold as = 3σ T , if it exceeds the set threshold, it is determined as the crack area, where σ T is the standard deviation of the ambient temperature.

[0008] Further, in Step S2, calculate the depth of superficial cracks based on the simplified model of the one-dimensional heat conduction equation, specifically expressed as: (2); Wherein, is the depth of the surface crack; is the concrete thermal diffusivity; is the initial temperature difference, i.e., the temperature difference between the concrete surface and the environment at the end of heating; is the remaining temperature difference in the surface crack area at time t, where t is the time after thermal excitation.

[0009] Further, in step S3, multi-channel sensors are arranged perpendicular to the deep crack direction, Rayleigh waves are excited to record the time-domain waveform, and the cut-off frequency is determined through the mutation point of the spectrum ratio curve to calculate the depth of the deep crack; the specific process is as follows: Step S31, multi-channel sensors are arranged perpendicular to the deep crack direction, the channel spacing is 40 - 60 cm, the number of sensors ≥ 4, and they are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the deep crack; a hammer or a piezoelectric transducer is used to excite Rayleigh waves, and the multi-channel Rayleigh wave time-domain waveform data is synchronously collected through a data acquisition instrument; Step S32, the Fourier transform is used to obtain the spectrum of the signals at all sensor measurement points and the amplitude spectrum is obtained, and the mean value of the spectrum ratios of the signals at all sensor measurement points is calculated according to formula (3), expressed as: (3); Wherein, i is the sensor number, ; n is the total number of arranged sensors, n ≥ 4 and is an even number; is the spectrum ratio between the channel and the i-th channel sensor; is the signal frequency-domain amplitude of the channel sensor, is the signal frequency-domain amplitude of the i-th channel sensor; Step S33, define the mean value of the spectrum ratio = 0.5 corresponding frequency as the cut-off frequency f c , the cut-off frequency f c corresponding to one-third of the Rayleigh wave wavelength is the depth of the deep crack, calculated as formula (4), expressed as: (4); Wherein, is the depth of the deep crack; f c is the cut-off frequency; is the Rayleigh wave velocity; The Rayleigh wave velocity in formula (4) is obtained through the wave velocity calibration test of the concrete in the complete target area, expressed as: (5); Wherein, L is the known sensor spacing, and Δt is the arrival time difference of the first wave of Rayleigh waves.

[0010] Furthermore, in step S4, for cracks in the junction area, the infrared thermography method and the Rayleigh wave method are simultaneously used to detect the depth of cracks in the junction area. If the depth error is < 10%, the average value detected by the infrared thermography method and the Rayleigh wave method is taken; otherwise, the parameters are optimized and the detection is repeated. The specific process is as follows: Perform cross-validation and error correction on cracks in the junction area: Detect using the infrared thermography method and the Rayleigh wave method respectively. If the depth error of the cracks detected by the infrared thermography method and the Rayleigh wave method in the junction area is < 10%, take the average value detected by the infrared thermography method and the Rayleigh wave method as the final result; if the depth error of the cracks detected by the infrared thermography method and the Rayleigh wave method in the junction area is > 10%, adjust the working parameters and repeat the detection, and introduce the impact echo method or the ultrasonic method as a third-party verification. The specific adjustment of the working parameters is to optimize the infrared pulse frequency, correct the concrete thermal diffusion coefficient, use a higher-frequency Rayleigh wave source, and correct the Rayleigh wave velocity.

[0011] Furthermore, in step S5, for surface cracks, deep cracks, and cracks in the junction area, extract the amplitude attenuation characteristics of Rayleigh waves and calculate the crack width; based on the arrival time difference of the first wave in the time-domain waveform, invert the crack dip angle.

[0012] Further, in step S6, the infrared thermography detection results are superimposed on the Rayleigh wave detection results, and a three-dimensional visual crack model is constructed using a linear interpolation algorithm. The specific process is as follows: Based on the detection data of the infrared thermography method and the Rayleigh wave method in steps S1 - S5, the detection data of the infrared thermography method and the Rayleigh wave detection data are unified into the same coordinate system: with the lower left corner of the detection area as the origin, the X-axis along the crack direction, the Y-axis perpendicular to the crack direction, and the Z-axis in the depth direction, a three-dimensional visual crack model is constructed using a linear interpolation algorithm, expressed as: (9); In the formula, is the detection result of the crack position and depth in the concrete of the final target area; and are respectively the detection results of the crack position and depth detected by the infrared thermography method and the detection results of the crack position and depth detected by the Rayleigh wave method; λ is the weight coefficient.
