Abstract

Bridges are at the heart of transportation systems connecting the roads to and between the mainlands. Thus, bridges are an integral part of the economic growth of any country. They are subjected to dynamic loads of the vehicles and the environmental effects. These loads cause stress and strain cycles causing its deterioration by initiating microcracking. The deterioration is then accelerated due to the chloride attack which causes the corrosion of the steel reinforcement resulting in cracking and delamination of concrete and ultimately leads to failure.
It is essential to analyze the bridge with its actual condition which is difficult with a visual inspection. This analysis can help in determining the degree of repairs needed and an approximate idea about its service life. The development of the Non-Destructive Test (NDT) methods helps assess the condition of the bridge without any kind of damage to the original structure. In the past few decades, the Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) with the help of Ground Penetration Radar (GPR) has gained popularity due to its ease in the evaluation of the larger areas such as bridge deck and parking lot in a shorter amount of time with sufficient training. The NDE using GPR for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has been still evolving with new improvements in its technology as well as the development of new methods for the analysis of its data. A positive step towards detecting the subsurface materials present in the cracks has been undertaken in this study. A methodology to detect the subsurface cracks/gaps in concrete using GPR has been developed here by preparing three concrete samples of dimensions 50 x 25 x 5 cm3, 50 x 25 x 10 cm3, and 50 x 25 x 20 cm3 in the laboratory. The detection of reinforcement of 6 mm, 10 mm, 18 mm, 20 mm diameter, as well as a 21.8 mm Fiber Reinforcement Polymer (FRP) bar, are studied along with the detection of the air gap, water gap, and gap with the salt solutions of thickness 3 mm, 4 mm, 4.8 mm, 5.8 mm and 8.8 mm under the depth of 5 cm, 10 cm, and 15 cm. The amplitude values of these parameters are studied, and a comparison is made to check the ability of GPR to detect this material in cracks and/or delamination with changes in depths. This will be helpful in analyzing the GPR data with more reliability.
Along with this, a non-linear finite element model (FEM) of a bridge superstructure using a fiber element is developed. The FE model of the bridge deck is updated and analyzed using a GPR defect map. This procedure of model updating is less tedious than the previous method available in the literature and proves to be time-saving. This model updating procedure will prove to be helpful in estimating the capacity of the bridge and make a prediction for future deterioration with the help of NDE methods (here GPR).
