Abstract

The design and use of two new inductive sensors for imaging of reinforcing bars in concrete is described. The first is a Q-sensor, the second a heterodyne sensor. By exploiting the phase and amplitude of the returned signals, it is possible to image the steel bars, detect section loss due to corrosion and image corrosion products directly. A real-time time digital signal processing system has also been developed that performs data pre-processing.
