摘要

This work is based on the idea that ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) tests are a useful way to determine the quality of concrete and that the use of this Nondestructive Testing (NDT) technique might supply the basis for the verification of the condition state of a concrete element. In fact, it is largely accepted that it is feasible to associate certain ultrasonic results with material characteristics such as density, homogeneity or even strength. However, the interpretation of ultrasonic test data can become quite complex, since various factors might affect the results. Therefore, the diagnosis is usually based on the sensitivity of experts. Nonetheless, when dealing with real-life structures, the amount of data to be analyzed can be very large, creating difficulties for the expert to consider it. The working hypothesis of this research is that the process of analyzing ultrasonic test data for determining concrete condition can be facilitated and standardized using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). This Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool is capable of processing a large amount of unstructured data, generating a non-linear correlation model that can provide very good results. The net is created using knowledge extracted from specialists or information available from previous cases where the relationship between input data and outcome is known. By using the ANN it is possible to search for the most efficient solutions without prior knowledge of the relationships between these input variables and outcomes. The research aims to collect data from various types of concretes and use ANN to establish models that correlate concrete properties and ultrasonic readings. The models will be tested to determine their accuracy and sensitivity to the topology of the net. A special model to estimate compressive strength from ultrasonic readings and concrete characteristics is also being tested. The preliminary results are very encouraging, since they give indication that the models are robust and more accurate that traditional regression models. The major aim of the work is to test, explore and demonstrate the potential of ANN as an interesting tool for diagnosis, training and storage of non-structured knowledge in the civil engineering field. The working hypothesis of this research is that the process of analyzing ultrasonic test data for determining concrete condition can be facilitated and standardized using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN).
