    CE207L CONCRETE TECHNOLOGY LAB

    EXPERIMENT
    STANDARD TEST METHOD OF ULTRASONIC PULSE
    VELOCITY THROUGH CONCRETE
    (ASTM C597-97)

    LEVEL: 4 T H SEMESTER 2 N D YEAR


    Civil Engineering Department, SUIT Peshawar

    1
    PURPOSE OF EXPERIMENT
    To Find the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity through concrete.

    2
    DEFINITIONS AND THEORY
    The ultrasonic pulse velocity method could be used to establish
     The homogeneity of the concrete
     The presence of cracks, voids and other imperfection
     Changes in the structure of the concrete which may occur with time
     The quality of the concrete in relation to standard requirements
     The values of dynamic elastic modulus of the concrete

    3
    EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
    Pulse generator
     A pair of transducers
     An amplifier
    Time Measuring circuit
     Time display unit
     connecting cables

    4
    PROCEDURE
    Check the accuracy of the transit time measurements against the calibration
    device.
    Apply zero-time correction to the measured transit times.
    Apply an appropriate coupling agent (such as water, oil, petroleum jelly, grease,
    or other viscous materials) to the transducer diaphragms, the test surface, or both,
    to avoid entrapped air between the contact surface of the diaphragms of the
    transducers and the surface of concrete.
    Press the faces of the transducers against the surfaces of concrete assuring good
    contact between the two, and measure the transit time.
    Measure the shortest direct path between the centers of the diaphragms.

    CALCULATIONS
    Calculate the pulse velocity as:
    V= L/T
    Where;
    V = pulse velocity, m/s (ft/s)
    L = distance between transducers, m (ft), and
    T = effective transit time, (measured time minus zero time correction and
    corrected for calibration errors)

    7
    CALCULATIONS
    Calculate the pulse velocity as:
    V= L/T
    length = 12in= 0.0003048km
    Ist reading = 1251 micro Sec V= .25km/sec
    2nd reading = 1052 micro Sec V= .28km/sec
    3rd reading = 1065 micro Sec V= .28km/sec
