Fundamental Experiment on Invisible Crack Detection of Concrete Covered with Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) through Electrical Impedance Variations and Phase Transition
Abstract:This study aims to develop a non-destructive test for the detection of invisible cracks in concrete covered with fiber reinforcement polymer (FRP) sheets using electrical impedance variation and phase transition. The fundamental test was performed considering the hypothesis that the concrete exhibits inductive and resistive properties. Some FRP-covered concrete specimens with an artificial crack were prepared. The study examined the frequency characteristics of impedance and phase under AC voltage with frequen… Show more
