Thermal Integrity Profiling of Concrete Foundations

When: April 19th, 2016

Who should attend:

Geotechnical, structural and construction engineers; contractors, researchers and students interested in or having the need for a full integrity analysis of drilled deep foundations, including evaluation of the concrete cover outside the reinforcing cage.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of the webinar attendees will be able to:

• Describe the basic principles of integrity evaluation using thermal measurements
• Collect data by various methods
• Evaluate eccentricity of cage alignment in the shaft
• Evaluate the measurements for local defects (in cross section or concrete quality)
• Describe the conversion process of temperature to effective shaft radius
• Recommended time window for testing after casting concrete
• Compare and contrast the advantages of thermal measurements, conventional Crosshole Sonic Logging (CSL), Low Strain Integrity Testing,and Gamma-Gamma testing of drilled shafts and ACIP/CFA piles.

Syllabus

• Motivation for integrity testing
• Advantages and limitations of CSL, Low Strain Integrity Testing, Gamma-Gamma and Thermal testing
• Principles of thermal measurements
• Interpretation of test data
• Test procedures
• Comparisons of Thermal and CSL/Gamma-Gamma results
• Examples / Case studies’
